About the Book

A reissue of the classic picture book about the power of imagination and hope in transcending one’s surroundings.

Hugo is staying in hospital and is anxious to go home. From his bed overlooking the zoo, he hears the noises of the animals and begins daydreaming of a world outside the hospital. One by one, the animals invite him to join them – first an elephant, then a howler monkey, and finally a snow leopard – and he returns with tales of his adventures and ‘souvenirs’ for his envious sister. When it is finally time to go home, Hugo shares his secret with the other kids in the ward who then put on their slippers for their own imaginative adventures …
