There are all sorts of hugs in all sorts of sizes in this chunky, tactile and attractive board book. From bear hugs to lion cuddles, wide open wings and cheek-to-cheek (tortoise) cuddles, little animals enjoy exactly the right kind of hugs, finishing – of course – with a peck behind the ear to say goodnight, and a sleepy hug that holds you tight.
Each smiling animal pair is made up of furry or textured felt against smooth card, giving little fingers lots to trace and stroke and it exudes feelings of warmth, love and contentment.
Everybody loves a hug, but there are lot of different ways to do it! How do YOU hug?
This adorable, high-contrast board book features Danielle Mudd’s charming illustrations — with pops of colour, designed to appeal to babies, and soft felt die-cuts on every page for an extra sensory experience.
