Bobo needs a hug. But his friends don't seem to understand. & quot; Hug, & quot; he implores, time and again.

Can the elephants lead Bobo to his heart's desire? Jez Alborough, the acclaimed author-illustrator of Where's My Teddy?, It's the Bear, and My Friend Bear transforms a total of three words and some of the most tenderly expressive animals ever created into an endearing tribute to love and belonging.
