Hug Machine
Get ready for a BIG, squishy, super-powered hug attack! 🤗💥
In Hug Machine, a little boy has an important mission: hug EVERYTHING! Big things, little things, soft things, spiky things… nothing is safe from the Hug Machine! 😂
This silly and heartwarming story from author and illustrator Scott Campbell is packed with humor, kindness, and plenty of opportunities for a giant storytime hug. It’s a wonderful reminder that sometimes a little affection can make someone’s day a whole lot better. 💛
