Hug Board Book

By Jez Alborough

Cuddle up with this acclaimed and irresistible story board book.

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.

  • The first in a fabulous series dealing with childhood feelings - other titles are 'Tall' and 'Yes'.
  • With vivid illustrations and simple text this title is perfect as a first board book.
  • "Alborough is a master of economy, and visual and verbal texts are seamlessly integrated in this wonderful book for the very young". (Yes) Magpies Magazine
