“Words can’t fix a rotten day, but a hug sometimes can. Read it side by side and you’ll be in a group hug of your own by the last page.”
It all starts with one small slug who needs a hug.
Group Hug is a funny rhyming picture book about a hug that grows bigger with every lonely or grumpy animal who joins in.
Slug needs a hug, so when a lonely beetle comes along, Slug happily offers one. Then, one by one, more sad-looking animals shuffle up, from Mouse and Squirrel to a rather smelly Skunk and a prickly Porcupine. But when a big, scary-looking bear appears, will the group make room for him too?
Why children love it
- Skunk's "slight pong", which Mouse cheerfully ignores with "Come, join our throng!"
- Beaver's kind plea to Porcupine to "send those quills packing!"
- Cosy, colourful pictures where the hug swells into one big, happy heap of fur and feathers.
