The Hug — Eoin McLaughlin

Hedgehog was feeling sad. As sad as a hedgehog can feel. So sad only one thing could help...
Tortoise was feeling sad. As sad as a tortoise can feel. So sad only one thing could help...
In this clever flipbook, both a hedgehog and a tortoise are looking for a hug. They ask all the other animals they come across but for some reason no one will hug them. Until a wise owl explains: Hedgehog is too spiky; Tortoise is too bony. And that's when they find each other!
A beautiful, heartwarming picture book with all the universal appeal of Guess How Much I Love You.
