Jules the kitten (also known in the MUTTS cartoons as \"Shtinky Puddin'\") knows that hugs can make the world a better place. So he makes a \"Hug To-Do List\"--with the endangered species of the world at the top--and travels the globe to show all of the animals that someone cares. From Africa to the North Pole to his own back yard, Jules proves a hug is the simplest--but kindest--gift we can give. With its gently environmental theme, this joyous rhyming story about sharing love is an ideal gift year-round.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePatrick McDonnell\u003c\/b\u003e is the author and illustrator of \u003ci\u003eTek: The Modern Cave Boy\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThank You and Good Night\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eA Perfectly Messed-Up Story\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe Monsters' Monster\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eMe...Jane\u003c\/i\u003e, a Caldecott Honor Book.
