Hugawugs Featured in May Parents Magazine

Peek inside the May issue of Parents Magazine and you'll find the Hugawugs board book, Meet the Hugawugs, highlighted on page 174.

Our books and plush toys are featured with the article, "I Don't Wanna Nap!" by Sharlene K. Johnson. Chosen as one of four "Soothing Stories for Anti-Nappers," our Meet the Hugawugs board book is a great choice for toddlers and preschoolers who need to settle down for some quiet time. In this book, you will join the eight Hugawugs friends as they share their favorite ways to have silly fun. From playing on the swings to jumping in the leaves, the Hugawugs have a fun-filled day that ends with a quiet nap.

A copy of Meet the Hugawugs paired with one of our soft plush character toys makes a great gift for the little napper in your life.
