Slug Needs a Hug by Jeanne Willis and Tony Ross

Poor little slug is in need of a hug but his mum won’t give him one. So he goes in search of help from his friends in an effort to become more huggable. Following the advice of each, slug adopts a multitude of disguises. His appearance becomes increasingly more comical and outlandish until his own mother fails to recognise him! Motherly love conquers all at the end of this funny rhyming story.
