Hugless Douglas

Product Information

Books like Moo-Cow, Kung-Fu Cow and Elephant Wellyphant really spark the imaginations of children and make them laugh. He improvises but nothing is quite satisfactory until he finds the one creature who can give him the best hug of all. Douglas comes across as loveable and vulnerable and will leave all readers wanting to give him a hug. I admit I was disappointed to see how small the book and bear were when they arrived (book approx 17x17cm, bear about 15cm tall) but my son was happy enough with both, and is always a favourite story for bedtime.

I think a lot of kids (and adults) will get a kick out of this story of the baby bear Douglas who wakes up and feels like he really needs a hug. We don’t share your credit card details with third-party sellers, and we don’t sell your information to others. Rocks are hugged, bushes are squeezed, sheep are grabbed and rabbits are molested and eventually he finds his Mum who gives the best hugs of all.This would make an excellent bedtime story, even though there’s nothing about bedtime overtly shown.

He has a huge shiny nose and a face that shows expression and feeling perfectly, as do the other characters in the book.
