At Books2Door, we believe that reading is a fundamental skill that every child should have to help improve their vocabulary, grammar, and critical thinking skills.

David Melling has been shortlisted for the Kate Greenaway Medal, the Smarties Book Award and the Independent Booksellers Award. 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. The format of this book is: softback cover with matt finish, tiresias font of 75pt, and Grade 1 UEB Braille. 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.This is not intended to be a full statement of all your rights under the Distance Selling Regulations. In the other books they’ve modeled different hugs and hats, and in Hugless Douglas and the Big Sleep they model the different things you would take for a sleepover.

But, he is still quite big and, well, a bear--so not really a creature a lot of critters will be eager to hug. Especially created for World Book Day 2014 and starring the much-loved Hugless Douglas, this charming story follows Douglas and his friends through a fun-filled day.

He goes around hugging, well, not so huggable things and other animals who really don't want a hug until he finally finds the hug he has been looking for.

One of his most popular picture books The Tale of Jack Frost was animated and shown on BBC1 on Christmas Day. Duck in the Truck has been out since 1999 but I still love reading this aloud to children regularly.Children will beg for them to be read again and again, and I’m sure parents will be only too willing to.
