Slug Needs a Hug!

(3) K-3 Illustrated by Tony Ross. "Once upon a time-y, / there was a little slimy, / spotty, shiny, whiny slug." In this humorous rhyming story, Slug wants a hug from his mommy but worries he's too "slithery and sluggable." Taking advice from various creatures, he tries to make himself more "huggable"--in the end realizing he's just fine the way he is. Ross's winsome illustrations enhance the breezy verse's playfulness.
