Hugless-Douglas by David Melling Cover

Hugless Douglas

Author and Illustrator: David Melling
Buy – Hugless Douglas

Douglas wakes up after his winter sleep and finds that he really NEEDS a HUG!

He recalls the things that make up a good hug and sets out to find a good hug.

He hugs a snowball, because his best hugs are big…He hugs up and down a tree, because his best hugs are tall, he hugs a bush which reminded him of a comfy hug… but it was full of sheep that did not want to be hugged at all!

Poor Douglas, he just can’t find the hug he needs. Thankfully a friendly rabbit knows the solution and takes him to familiar cave.

I bet you can guess who has just woken up…It’s his mum!

A happy ending for Douglas who gets the best hug ever.

David Melling writes this story from the perspective of a young child. The themes are gentle and encourage kindness. It is true not everyone wants a hug and this is dealt with in a humorous way. The story is simple and interesting enough for young children to stay engaged.

A funny little story with bright cheerful pictures.
