Hug

by Jez Alborough

Ages 3–4 Reading age 4 Picture book Set in outdoors and wild places gentlemoving

A small chimp crosses the jungle saying only one word, watching every other animal embrace its mother, until he finds his own.

A story about animals, gentle and moving in tone. We would put it with children of 3–4, and at a reading age of about 4 for reading alone.

Or let them write their own.

Nothing gets a child reading like a story they invented themselves. Your child plans the characters and the plot, and we write, illustrate and print it as a real book with their name on the cover as the author.
