Synopsis

Gus the grumpy grizzly bear is in a terrible mood, stomping and snarling through the forest. The other animals try to cheer him up with gifts, but nothing works. Then, a tiny baby possum offers Gus a big, warm hug, and suddenly, Gus's grumbles turn into giggles. This delightful tale, with its fold-out covers and engaging illustrations, is perfect for reading aloud to young children, teaching them about kindness and the power of a simple hug.
