Chris's Pick (recommended for 4+): This is wonderfully fun children’s picture book. Bear wants to give everyone a hug but Skunk wants to stop him. Written in the theme of an old time melodrama, where all of Skunks stinky tricks back fire on him. Things just keep becoming more and more stinky. Skunk does finally get a hug and realizes just how wonderful they are.
