Synopsis

Once there was a Hoodie who lived under a hill, and very fine Hoodie he was. But the Hoodie who lived under the hill wasn't truly happy, for there is only one thing that makes a Hoodie truly happy, and the Hoodie didn't have that. What could that thing be? In this delightful romp celebrating friendship, best-selling author Sam McBratney spins a tale of imagination and humour, as the Hoodie encounters a field of "white-and-woollies" (sheep), a herd of "black-and-whites" (cows), and a picnic of "tiny-two-legs" (children), who all run as fast as they can away from the funny-looking mushroom-eared Hoodie. Only at the end of the summer does the Hoodie find his true companion -- another Hoodie, of course!
