Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Like a wordless book, the story unfolds through a series of expressive pictures. . . .Alborough makes clear . . . the elation the animals gain from their shared affection. --PUBLISHERS WEEKLY (starred review)

Bobo needs a hug. But his friends don't seem to understand. Hug, he implores, time and again. Time and again his puzzled pals — from the smallest chameleon to the tallest giraffe — shrug and cuddle with their jungle mothers. As the lonely chimp's plea escalates, his friends grow concerned. Can the elephants lead Bobo to his heart's desire? Jez Alborough transforms a total of three words — and some of the most tenderly expressive animals ever created — into an endearing tribute to love and belonging.

Synopsis:

Now in a board book format, this story finds Bobo the chimp in need of a hug, but his friends don't seem to understand. With a total of three words, Alborough delivers an endearing tribute to love and belonging. Full color.
