Bear arms? I'm happy to oblige. For David Melling, whose new book is Hugless Douglas.
And who was in need of a pair of bear arms.
Feeling decidedly hugless myself - but I know just where to find one...
There's nothing like a hug to improve one's day.
I just love this... a portable bear hug !

How wonderful, I could do with a bear hug and also wanted to say thanks for posting about the Hungry Catapiller book event as it inspired

Your boys look so huggable in their bear arms!!! I like the look of Hugless Douglas too! x

What an exciting life you lead - people asking you for bear arms.

I'm loving those arms. Bet you didn't expect making bear arms to be a skill you would ever need!

I want a hug. My kids are unlikely to oblige right now - they're sulking...

Oh how delicious. Much better than that scary hug they usded in the cold medicine ad a few years back. (Or was it cup of soup?)

If you need a hug I am prepared to set aside my self imposed restriction on such things and do some curly brackets:
((((xoxo))))
Only for you, Ali.

Awww - and that looks like a lovely book too. I'll have to check it out...

Just what I needed - a Monday lunchtime hug. And I have to agree with Trahalou - so much better than the scary, I think it was soup, ones.
Posted by: Lynne | 22 March 2010 at 13:41
oh Ali, they're just perfect!
They're exactly right. HOw did the event go?
Posted by: monica | 22 March 2010 at 16:15
Rarrrrrr! Awesome idea! Can't wait to try.

Aha! I've just stumbled across your blog Ali! I have these brilliant arms safely tucked away at home but promise to return them to you as soon as I have finished with thm. My kids want to keep them but I said they'll just have to make do with me. They weren't impressed. Bless their wholesome little hearts.
