The hug

Eoin McLaughlin ; Polly Dunbar

Hedgehog was feeling sad. As sad as a hedgehog can feel. So sad only one thing could help. Tortoise was feeling sad. As sad as a tortoise can feel. So sad only one thing could help. In this clever flipbook, both a hedgehog and a tortoise are looking for a hug. They ask all the other animals they come across but for some reason no-one will hug them. Until a wise owl explains: Hedgehog is too spiky; Tortoise is too hard. And that's when they find each other! A hug, at last!
