About this deal

One of Melling's most popular picture books, The Tale of Jack Frost, was animated and shown on BBC1 on Christmas Day with a voiceover by Hugh Laurie.

It could be used in PSHE to highlight the importance of developing relationships, and in understanding the importance of showing compassion to others.It isn’t until the end of the book that we find out that Douglas is actually a young bear, and he couldn’t find the right hug because his mom hadn’t woken up yet. Es un cuento adorable que nos ayuda a reforzar la conección afectiva que requieren los niños, la importancia de un gesto que les ayudará a sentirse protegidos y valorados. Catchy text, beguiling illustrations and a gooey heart-warming ending finished with a generous helping of how-to-hug-time. This book teaches children when something goes wrong they need to tell the adult in their life about it. Melalui ceritanya, anak-anak diajak untuk mengenal aneka ukuran, sambil membantu Doughlass menemukan pelukannya.

I think that this is a brilliant technique for getting early readers to begin reading with expression. The story has vocabulary enrichment for emergent readers; the illustrations are sweet and pleasantly warm. The premise is cute but Douglas goes around hugging other animals that are clearly uninterested and outright displeased with it. Douglas comes across as loveable and vulnerable and will leave all readers wanting to give him a hug.The sixth Hugless Douglas adventure - his first day at school - in this bestselling series with over 1. This charming and very funny book about the ups and downs of sibling relationships perfectly captures the affection and frustration experienced by an older sibling - and the monsters are wonderfully expressive. He improvises but nothing is quite satisfactory until he finds the one creature who can give him the best hug of all. This type of detail in illustrations is always huge hit as they love trying to find the hidden Easter eggs. I suppose it’s a slightly sappy story but I thoroughly enjoyed it, and I’m sure I’d have loved it as a kid and after all young kids are its target audience.

It’s quite amusing for the reader to follow Douglas looking for a hug and hugging some less than huggable things and being, including those who don’t want a hug. 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.Pooh has Piglet but this poor chap has no one to take his affections out on and a bear-hug is probably not everyone's cup of tea so he has work set out for him. BOOK OF THE MONTH - A heart-warming and hilarious story told in 25 chapters, perfect for the countdown to Christmas. It appeals to a young child's emotions, revealing the strong bond between a mother and child and the power of a good warm hug from someone you love. He has a huge shiny nose and a face that shows expression and feeling perfectly, as do the other characters in the book. Poor Hugless Douglas just wants to find someone to hug, but it isn't as easy as you'd think when you're a big bear!

Nothing incredible in the story telling, but the pictures are quite amusing and adorable and I think I would have enjoyed them as a kid especially. Entertaining illustrations and a message that the best hugs are from those who love you make this the perfect bedtime book. BOOK OF THE MONTH - the much awaited latest installment in this popular diary-style series for ages 7+. It offers colorful illustrations that match the story, teaches persistence, and teaches children how to be loving from babies all the way to kindergarten. This got three stars because there's a sentence in the book where Douglas says "Give us a hug" and that's just bad English.My only minor dislike was that, the author states it was written about him and his son, and with so little books showing the love of a father and child. Hugless Douglas Children Books Collection Set By David Melling, (Hugless Douglas Goes to Little School, Happy Birthday, Hugless Douglas! Before you all start panicking, I have not started spawning a tribe of miniature goodreaders - the earth will be safe from that calamity for a while yet. He worked as a cel renderer and background artist in several animation studios before he began illustrating children’s books.
