Sometimes, all you need is just a little hug! Wolfie is feeling a bit fragile, so he looks to his friends to cheer him up. Each offers their own version of a hug, but theyre all a bit too wild for Wolfie! Snake squeezes far too tight, and Orangutans loop-the-loop hug is a bit too much... surely someone must have the perfect hug to cheer poor Wolfie up Perhaps all is not as it seems, and theres a very special someone whos ready to help. A heartwarming celebration of the special bond a child has with their toys, and the very special power of a simple, loving hug.
