Hug?

How many hugs is too many? This girl's had enough! After coughing up a hairball, a girl's cat doesn't feel well. So the girl offers to give her cat a hug, which makes the cat — and the girl — feel better. A dog notices and asks for a hug, too. Then some ducks come along asking for hugs. And a skunk... and a bear — and a porcupine! One animal after another comes asking the girl for a hug until she's simply had enough. How much more of this can she take?

With spare text and wonderfully expressive illustrations, Charlene Chua has created a playful, funny picture book with an original premise. The story shows how important hugs can be to our happiness — even the most unlikely of creatures sometimes need one! — but that doesn't mean they're always welcome. This picture book explores compassion and the importance of setting boundaries, all through a premise that will get kids giggling.

Description

"Generously, the kid acquiesces to each request despite the personal toll. The kid’s appearance and reactions, however, go from neat through frazzled to full-out disheveled, with frayed hair and stained clothes. Eventually an eclectic ensemble of demanding creatures, complete with a fiery dragon, provokes the beleaguered protagonist to yell, 'STOP!' After this eruption, the tabby helps the kid find peace — with a hug, of course. Short and sweet, the book gently guides readers to find balance between helping others while acknowledging their own emotional needs." — Kirkus Reviews
