PAPERBACK ONLY, hardcover is coming soon!

Hugo is hungry. Very hungry.
And when Hugo gets hungry…he gets HANGRY! There’s just one problem: Hugo is just a little pufferfish stuck inside a fishbowl, and his delicious fish food is sitting all the way across the room!
So Hugo does what any determined little fish would do - he comes up with a plan.
And when that doesn’t work…he tries another.
And another...
And when he refuses to give up, a little 'unexpected help' might just come from a very unlikely place. Hangry Hugo is a funny and beautifully illustrated children's picture book about determination, creative problem-solving, and the importance of persevering in the face of adversity.
This title is a wordless picture book. Wordless picture books encourage storytelling as readers create their own dialogue and plot interpretations, as well as improve observation by prompting children to focus more deeply on visual details, expressions and artistic cues. Wordless picture books support reading at all levels, and are especially great for pre-readers, English language learners and older students practicing narrative structure.
