The Very Hungry Caterpillar’s Animal Hugs

A peek-through book with raised pieces

These little lambs love to start off their day,
with warm fleecy hugs, then they leap off to play.
This baby deer rests under starry night skies,
and nuzzles his mother before closing his eyes.


This warm and reassuring, rhyming board book is wonderful way to start - and end - the day!

With chunky pages, die-cut holes and raised, tactile board pieces this is perfect for small hands to interact with during first shared-reading experiences.
