Patti Stren has created a character in Elliot Kravitz who lives in us all. Elliot has won a place in my heart along with the Runaway Bunny and Corduroy. I hope that Lilly will still be reading Hug Me at my age. I wouldn't doubt it. Thanks Patti Stren. You have touched us.. Time tested favorite Janice Kopp I first bought this book in 1977 for my two daughters. It was one of their favorite books. At the end, we always shared a porcupine hug like Elliot and Thelma. Today I am reading it to my two granddaughters. It is a treasured book in my home.The 1977 edition was in black & white. nice to see some color.
