Alborough's irresistible charmer is now available in a paperback edition as the author transforms a total of three worlds--and some of the most tenderly expressive animals ever created--into an endearing tribute to love and belonging. Full color.

Reviews

Favorite characters return for the picture-book crowd as well. With just five words and a band of his always-merry animal creations, Jez Alborough weaves a sweet tale about the monkey from Hug, determined to make it to the top-and teaching youngsters about relative heights at the same time-in Tall. While the premise is simplicity itself, it's expertly paced. An oversize, huggable board book edition of Hug is also available now. Copyright 2005 Reed Business Information.
