Merry Christmas, Hugless Douglas
David Melling
Join Douglas for Christmas magic in the eighth Hugless Douglas adventure. This bestselling series has sold over 1.6 million copies to date in 24 languages!
Hugless Douglas knows what Christmas is all about – snowing sheep, finding a tree, sledging and and making new friends like Rudi the Reindeer! And one more thing of course… Christmas hugs!
David Melling is one of the UK’s best-loved author-illustrators and his seventh book about Douglas the brown bear is as funny and compelling as the first. It combines brilliantly imaginative illustrations with an endearing sense of what it is like to be a small child learning about the world.

Hugs are very special to me and I love them just like Hugless Douglas does. I loved this festive story full of magic and I even saw Father Christmas flying in his sleigh. I really liked that in the centre you had to turn the page vertically to see the picture. I thoroughly enjoyed this funny story and liked that at the back there were lots of things to do at Christmas. I would recommend reading this brilliant book.
