The unlikely pairing of Hugg, a messy yeti, and Bugg, a flea that feels the cold, shows the wonder of teamwork in the Himalayas. The hairy snowman keeps the flea warm. The flea keeps his personal, living rug neat and tidy.
A trip down the mountain for food and the discovery of a comb test their friendship. But, a run-in with rude leopards and a threat to their home, help Hugg ‘n Bugg see sense.

Reviews:
'Charming, imaginative and very funny; this is a must for your bookshelf, whether at home or in the classroom.' Mary Esther Judy, Fallen Star Stories
'Whimsical and whacky illustrations by Eoin Clarke combined with Ian Brown’s fun rhyming text will entertain young listeners at home or in the classroom, and adult readers aloud will enjoy giving a hair-raising performance of the drama.' Jill R Bennett, Red Reading Hub
'It’s a fun rhyming story with a good dose of humour thrown in and some great illustrations too. A very fun book to read.' The Strawberry Post
