Who Wants a Hug?

40 pp. | HarperCollins/Harper | January, 2015 | Trade ISBN 978-0-06-222026-4 $17.99
(4) K-3 Bear loves to give hugs, but Skunk isn't having it. Skunk tries to sabotage Bear's hug-fest with increasingly pungent ploys (rotten mackerel, stinky bag of garbage, "stink balloon"). It all backfires, leaving Skunk smelly and defeated--and in need of a hug. The joke is overripe by the end, but the expressive illustrations enhance the situation's built-in humor.
