Product Description

From Amazon

How can it be that a book with only one word--hug--repeated throughout, can be so good? The proof is in the pudding (or the wilds of Africa) in Jez Alborough's picture book Hug, a delightful mini odyssey of a baby chimpanzee on the hunt for his mum and a cuddle.

Our little friend wanders through the trees, witnessing many other animals from chameleons to giraffes as they snuggle together. "Hug," he says, happily, at first, but then with growing despair as he sees there are no hugs for him. The story is told purely by the expression on the little chimp's face as his hopes are built up and dashed again until eventually, with a huge smile, he finds his mum and reaps the reward.

Hug is a clever, unusual book that portrays the art of children's illustration at its very best: a story brought to life with the stroke of a brush through facial expressions and body language that children will immediately understand.

Ideal for sharing with small ones, this lovely book is a warm, comforting read that cannot fail to please. (Ages 1 to 4) --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

From Publishers Weekly

Infused with heartfelt themes, board books and novelty titles galore emerge just in time for Valentine's Day. Hot on the trail of little Bobo's love-seeking jungle jaunt, author/ illustrator Jez Alborough's witty marker pen illustrations supplement spare text in Hug. After witnessing many other animals' embraces, he finds a hug of his own. ( Jan.)

5.0 out of 5 stars Sweet, simple story with precious illustrations, Jun 20 2004
By 
Shelley Gammon "Geek" (Kaufman, Texas USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Hug (Board book)
Parents wil find this a more interactive book to read w/ their children, because most of the text just says "Hug!" but it's the illustrations of this baby chimp and other African animals that tell the story.

The little ape sees other animals (esp. mommy animals and baby animals) hugging, and wants a hug, too.

There will be a lot of pointing, "look at the hippos! look at the zebras!" and lots of hugs when this story is read. Very sweet, and a great goodnight story to read to your kids.

4.0 out of 5 stars will become a classic, July 1 2010
By 
book lover (Ottawa, ON Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Hug (Board book)
My 15 month old grandson loves this book. We borrowed it from the library, but had to buy our own copy since it's one of his favourites. He loves getting and giving hugs and really empathizes with Bobo who is missing hugs from his mother. He is "reading along" now and smiles at the happy ending.

5.0 out of 5 stars Adorable..., Dec 28 2009

I baught this book for my 2 year old and he loves it. So simple yet so adorable. I got the gift set with the stuffed monkey. Great idea! The pictures are pretty and the little monkey is so sweet walking around wanting a hug of his own. My two year old actually gets sad for the monkey. Great way to teach your child empathy and love with just one simple word, "HUG".
