One of the leading children's author/illustrators today combines a perfect match of humor and endearing artwork to launch a new character: Douglas is a big brown, lovable bear who wakes up one morning in need of a hug.
"synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.
PreS-Gr 1–Melling gives new meaning to the phrase, “a big bear hug” with this tale of a cub who sets off one morning in search of that special feeling he needs. A gigantic boulder is too heavy to hug and a tree trunk is too splintery. Douglas knows that a hug feels comfy, and he is not having an easy time locating one. Colorful illustrations enhance the humor. Lines of larger font sizes frequently wave throughout the text, contributing to the movement from page to page as Douglas continues his quest. The final spread demonstrates 14 varieties of hugs to bring additional hilarity and closure. Children will understand Douglas's need for that warm, secure feeling. They might even want to demonstrate as they ask for this book to be read aloud again and again.Blair Christolon, Prince William Public Library System, Manassas, VA
