Review:

One of the breakthrough new picture book characters of recent years, endearing bear Douglas returns in a new title celebrating best friends and love. * Bookseller * Hugless Douglas goes from strength to strength. * Parents in Touch * Brought to life by its appealing and colourful cartoon style characters, and a good dose of child-friendly humour... just the sort of thing to make little ones chuckle and stimulate their growing imaginations. * Carousel * Praise for Don't Worry, Hugless Douglas: Another warm and charming story featuring the amiable but often bewildered Douglas. Wonderful. - Peters Gazette The whole book works very well, being both funny and silly and yet, also, charming and relevant to small children. * Bookbag * Praise for Hugless Douglas: 'A charming and endearing tale.' - Bookseller 'A thoroughly enjoyable experience.' Bookbag 'Douglas will no doubt become a hit as he is such a lovable character.' * Families South West * A lovely story about friendship and being there for others. Warm and reassuring. * Parents in Touch * Hugless Douglas goes from strength to strength ... Warm and reassuring * Parents In Touch * Bright and cheerful and positive * The Bookbag * David Melling's fourth book about Douglas is as funny and compelling as the first, combining endearing illustrations with an acute sense of what it is like to be a small child learning about the world * Family Interest Magazine * Hugless Douglas needs no introduction ... Somehow through all the daftness (the bouncing bunnies are particularly, satisfyingly, silly) the reader has been on a real emotional journey and will close the book smiling and reassured * Books For Keeps * This warm and funny tale tackles the subject of best friends ... This simple story is brought to life by its appealing and colourful cartoon style characters, and a good dose of child-friendly humour * Carousel * The illustrations show a gentle countryside in mostly shades of green, grey and apricot -- a perfect backdrop for the picturing of all the animals Douglas meets * School Librarian *
