From the publisher

A beautiful, heartwarming picture book with all the universal appeal of Guess How Much I Love You.


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!

very own hug.'-- Kirkus
