| Hug Time by Patrick McDonnell"There once was a kitten so filled with love he wanted to give the whole world a hug." No small ambitions for big-hearted Jules the kitten! He's got a long, double-checked "Hug To-Do List," and he's ready to go. Starting with his best friends, Jules embarks on a worldwide mission to hug pandas, elephants, wombats, and more before heading back home for the most important embrace of all. You don't need to have read creator Patrick McDonnell's Mutts comics to appreciate this affectionate feline (though fans will spot some familiar characters); the cuddly theme and tiny size of Hug Time make it ideal for a one-on-one sharing with all kinds of kids. |
