I Want a Hug

(3) PS Baby hedgehog Elvis wants a hug. Everyone tells him he's too prickly until he meets a kindly crocodile who's in need of a kiss. The theme is a familiar but amiable one; each animal gets what he's been missing--a friend. The other animals aren't being unjustifiably nasty: the illustrations feature a main character who really is very pointy.
