Grouchy Hugs is a 2012 Sesame Street board book featuring Oscar the Grouch. Everybody's being extra nice to Oscar today, which drives him crazy. Abby Cadabby brings him pie, Zoe gives him flowers, and Elmo wants a hug. Readers can experience the mixed blessing of a grouchy hug using the plush arms at the sides of the book.

This book is a follow-up to two previous "Hugs" books -- 2009's Elmo Loves Hugs! and 2010's followup, Me Love Cookies!
