Celebrate 20 years of Bobo and his friends in this special anniversary edition of the much-loved family favourite!
Ever feel like you need a hug A really big hug from someone who loves you That's how Bobo, the little chimp in this classic first story book, feels. Walking through the jungle he passes lots of creatures enjoying a cuddle together: elephants, chameleons, lions, giraffes, hippos even the snakes have got someone special to squeeze. But poor Bobo is alone. Will he ever find the hug he needs Using only three words throughout the book, this simple, endearing story is told through Jez Alborough's gorgeous, detailed artwork.
