Age range 5 to 9 Dive into the hilarious story of a hug-loving kraken who learns that sometimes it' s better to keep your tentacles to yourself.
Klyde the kraken loves nothing more than a good hug, but whenever he tries to hug the animals in the ocean, they all swim away. Then one day, the colossal creature' s monstrous embrace takes down a pirate ship and the shipwrecked buccaneers surprise Klyde and the reader with a valuable lesson of emotional literacy: While many friends love to hug, some prefer other ways to greet their mateys.
Brooke Hartman' s buoyant, cheerful, and sidesplitting verses combine with Laura Borio' s beautifully quirky and charming illustrations to deliver a heart-warming story of social-emotional learning on the high seas. |
