After enduring all kinds of hugs from all kinds of friends and family members, Little Hog has had enough.  He posts a sign stating “Hogs Hate Hugs” and signs it Little Hog.  The others are shocked.  Mouse has an idea and she shares it with Mommy Hog.  Late one day, Little Hog is walking through the forest feeling a bit lonely.  When he hears strange sounds behind him, he glances around and sees a scary “monster” getting close!  Panicked, he starts to run.  Then the monster trips and his mother and all his friends tumble out.  Little Hog is so relieved he decides he loves hugs after all.  Colorful and expressive watercolor illustrations add humor and details to the story.
