Uh-Oh, Hugo!

"The creators of the Tiny T. Rex books introduce a new—and equally endearing—character. . . . Stutzman’s sweetly encouraging narration guides Hugo through low-stakes ups and downs; despite a few setbacks, this is an idyllic outing. Rendered with a simplicity ideal for the toddler set, Fleck’s illustrations of roly-poly Hugo and his tousled-hair young owner brim with eye-catching details and textures. A doggone good day." - Kirkus Reviews

"Toddler-K–Stutzman explores the world through the eyes of Hugo, a dog, and a pale-skinned, blonde girl...What follows is a series of encounters in nature that all start well, then end with the refrain “uh-oh, Hugo.” But the narrator and the intrepid dog never let the mishaps get them down. The earthy primary-color backgrounds work seamlessly with the up-close interactions Hugo must create an upbeat and inviting visual experience. A fun visual gag of a lingering green cloud after an encounter with a skunk will add plenty of giggles to this sweet story. VERDICT A recommended title for animal lovers and kids needing reassurance that the perfect day may not look quite perfect." – Kelcy Davis, School Library Journal
