false <![CDATA[Hug]]> http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1178679816m/821430.jpg 821430 10 How can it be that a book with only one word--<I>hug</I>--repeated throughout, can be so good? The proof is in the pudding (or the wilds of Africa) in Jez Alborough's picture book <I>Hug</I>, a delightful mini odyssey of a baby chimpanzee on the hunt for his mum and a cuddle.<p> Our little friend wanders through the trees, witnessing many other animals from chameleons to giraffes as they snuggle together. "Hug," he says, happily, at first, but then with growing despair as he sees there are no hugs for him. The story is told purely by the expression on the little chimp's face as his hopes are built up and dashed again until eventually, with a huge smile, he finds his mum and reaps the reward.<p> <I>Hug</I> is a clever, unusual book that portrays the art of children's illustration at its very best: a story brought to life with the stroke of a brush through facial expressions and body language that children will immediately understand.<p> Ideal for sharing with small ones, this lovely book is a warm, comforting read that cannot fail to please.
