Meet Ug and Og, the hilarious new prehistoric double act. Ug REALLY wants a hug, but nobody will give him one. Not the grumpy toad, or the squirting flower, and DEFINITELY NOT the sabre-toothed tiger. Poor Ug! Could there be someone right under Ug's nose who would LOVE a hug . . . if only Ug would notice?A delightfully funny story with a light-hearted message about consent, which teaches little ones that not everyone wants to be hugged.
