Hug

A tiny chimp invokes the universal language, uniting his friends in a group hug to end all group hugs. Just try to resist Jez Alborough’s latest charmer!

Ever feel like you need a hug? A really big hug from someone who loves you? That’s how Bobo, the little chimp in this book, feels. Walking through the jungle he passes lots of creatures enjoying a cuddle together: elephants, chameleons, lions, giraffes, hippos – even the snakes have got someone special to squeeze. But poor Bobo is alone. Will he ever find the hug he needs? Using only the single word “hug” throughout the book, this simple, endearing story is told through Jez Alborough’s gorgeous, detailed artwork.
