Hugless Douglas is going to a sleepover in this third adventure in the hugely popular series – a perfect book for bedtime and hugtime.

Hugless Douglas is very excited about Rabbit’s sleepover, but he collects so many friends along the way that soon it’s a big squash in Rabbit’s small burrow! How will they ever get to sleep?

This is the third adventure in the hugely popular series, which has sold over 1.4 million copies in 26 languages to date. David Melling is one of the UK’s best-loved author-illustrators and his stories combine brilliantly imaginative illustrations with an endearing sense of what it is like to be a small child learning about the world.

Hello, Hugless Douglas! was a World Book Day picture book in 2014 and a number one bestseller, selling over 450,000 copies.

‘A new Hugless Douglas book is always a cause for celebration.’ Daily Mail
