Hugh's Blue Day

Hugh's Blue Day is a delightful rhyming story that will appeal to any child who has had "the blues." Geared primarily to 2-5-year-olds, it features a grumpy little boy and his fun-loving mom. When Hugh refuses to play, mom tries to cheer him up by making the whole day "blue." At first Hugh is doubtful, but he soon takes up the challenge, trying to outwit mom as she strives to make everything blue: his clothes, his food, even his toothpaste. Hodgson's quirky rhymes and the infectious enthusiasm of Collins' color illustrations make this a classic picture book.
