The fourth Hugless Douglas adventure in this bestselling series with 1.4 million copies sold to date in 26 languages.
When Douglas goes on a best friend hunt with Flossie the sheep, everyone seems to have a best friend except him! Perhaps what Douglas is looking for is right under his nose…
David Melling is one of the UK’s best-loved author-illustrators and his fourth 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.

Another warm and charming story featuring the amiable but often bewildered Douglas. Wonderful. - Peters Gazette
The whole book works very well, being both funny and silly and yet, also, charming and relevant to small children.
Hugless Douglas needs no introduction ... Somehow through all the daftness (the bouncing bunnies are particularly, satisfyingly, silly) the reader has been on a real emotional journey and will close the book smiling and reassured

A lovely story about friendship and being there for others. Warm and reassuring.
The illustrations show a gentle countryside in mostly shades of green, grey and apricot -- a perfect backdrop for the picturing of all the animals Douglas meets
