My sister’s on a hugging spree!

Hugging her way from A to Z.


Wild animals don’t scare Little Sister. And to show how much she likes them, she’s going to hug them all, from an Ape to a Zebra, whether they like it or not! A newt, an octopus, a porcupine . . . it’s a slimy, slippery, prickly situation. What will
Little Sister hug next? And what kind of trouble will those hugs get her into?

With riotously revolting rhymes by Bill Grossman and hysterically funny art by Kevin Hawkes, kids will be laughing their way from A to Z . . . until all the animals are scared away and there’s only one person left to hug!

Praise for My Little Sister Ate One Hare:

H “A guaranteed success with the primary-grade crowd. . . . Bravo!"—School Library Journal, Starred

“A boisterous evocation of fun and wonder.”—The New York Times

QUOTES

“This fanciful frolic through the alphabet gives youngsters words and images aplenty to chuckle over.”—Publishers Weekly


From the Trade Paperback edition.
