I loved the concept of this picture book. Two stories start at opposite ends and finds a hug in the middle. Both Porcupine and Turtle are having a rough day. What they really need is a hug. Hugs makes things better. But everyone around them is too busy doing other things to give a hug. I loved the illustrations in this picture book. Sparse and simple, they really made the words stand out and provided lift to the story.

Adorable tale of two adorable critters from opposite places that meet and are perfect for one another. Clever story layout is extremely satisfying.

A lovely, happy book about a hedgehog and a tortoise who were sad and wanted a hug. None of the animals would hug them and then they found each other and were really happy they could hug each other. This book has quite a different layout with both of the stories strongly reflecting the same themes but starting at different ends of the book. The stories meet in the middle when the characters meet. This could be a fun book to read with KS1 or FS children.
