How Do You Hug a Porcupine?

There are so many wonderful animals in this great big world and it would be so much fun to give them all a hug. But, how do you hug a porcupine? In small, gentle, slightly cartoonish illustrations we explore animal after animal and consider just how the hug might go. The ostrich might be tickly and the baby chicks might need some special tenderness. Those bunnies would be so "divine" and that giraffe could require "a climb" up a ladder. I can see children delighting in considering all the differences and imagining the hugs. But just how will you hug that porcupine? A warm enjoyable read just right for bedtime.  Ages 4-7   32 pages
