Is a lion still a lion if he... wears a hat? And carries an umbrella? Is a lion still a lion if he asks for a dance? Is so polite... but then asks for lunch?!

Mabel blows a bubble that captures Baby and wafts him away, resulting in a wild chase that involves the whole neighborhood.

In this clever flipbook, both a hedgehog and a tortoise are looking for a hug. They ask all the other animals they come across but for some reason no one will hug them. Until a wise owl explains: Hedgehog is too spiky; Tortoise is too bony. And that's when they find each other. Follow Hedgehog's story and then flip the book and read Tortoise's until they meet in the middle.

"Hedgehog is waiting for his friend Tortoise to wake up. But where is he and when will he wake?

Tortoise begins to stir – the one boulder that Hedgehog didn't think he could lift to turn . . . Tortoise has been dreaming of Hedgehog. And the hug that follows is their best yet!"--
