Review
How can it be that a book with only one word, repeated throughout, can be so good? The proof is in the pudding (well, the jungle actually) in Jez Alborough's superb Hug,a fantastic picture book that follows a baby monkey on the hunt for his mum and a cuddle.
As our little friend wanders through the jungle, enlisting the help of other jungle animals as they snuggle together with their young families. And all the time the story is told purely by the expression on the little monkey's face as his hopes are built and dashed again until eventually, with a huge smile, he finds his mum and reaps the reward.
Hug is a clever, entertaining and unusual book that portrays the art of illustration for children at its very best: characters are brought to life through facial expressions and body language, interacting with each other via the stroke of a brush, creating images that children will recognise and understand instantly.
Ideal for sharing with small children, this lovely book is a warm, comforting read that cannot fail to please. (Ages 1-4) --Susan Harrison
Review
Like a wordless book, the story unfolds through a series of expressive pictures rather than language. Alborough makes clear the chimp's distress as he tries to communicate with only the repeated word 'HUG, ' and the elation the animals gain from their shared affection.
