What is The Hug about?

Hedgehog and Tortoise are both feeling sad and in need of a hug. As they search for comfort, they discover that other animals won't hug them because Hedgehog is too spiky and Tortoise is too bony. But with a little help from a wise owl, they find each other and finally get the hug they need in this heartwarming story about friendship and acceptance.

Yes, the Pageticker app is completely free and you are welcome to join thousands of families using it today to inspire their children to love reading. If you are a school, we charge for the teacher dashboard - this costs between £149 and £449 per year.

Remember all the books that you or your child have read, are reading or want to read by adding them to your bookshelf. You'll need the app to start creating bookshelves.
