Where's My Cuddle?

by

James Mayhew
Illustrator: Sue Hellard

When Jake's Mum drops him at school she tries to give him a cuddle but he doesn't want it in case he gets teased. Later on, after school, he is feeling a bit low and asks for his cuddle but his Mum has given it away.

 

This delightful picture book follows Jake's cuddle as it is given away time after time, always doing some good as it goes. As he tries to find it, he meets a cat, a witch, a knight, a princess and a dragon to name but a few. Happily, Jake does eventually find his cuddle....and gives it back to his Mum.

A simple idea, beautifully presented, which will delight both adults and children. Well observed characters bring life and warmth to the inspired illustrations.
