Doug is a slug in need of a hug。 But who wants to hug a slug？ Slugs are mucky and yucky。 Everyone needs a hug though。 Can Doug find someone to hug？ Let’s hope so！“You never know how， when， or why some love might just come flying by。”This big， colorful book shows that love can be “slippy” and unpredictable and maybe a bit mucky at times， but it’s out there。 Just keep looking。 Look high and low！ And hold on to it when you find it。 Hold on tight just like a slug in love！Recommended read。 It's an ea Doug is a slug in need of a hug。 But who wants to hug a slug？ Slugs are mucky and yucky。 Everyone needs a hug though。 Can Doug find someone to hug？ Let’s hope so！“You never know how， when， or why some love might just come flying by。”This big， colorful book shows that love can be “slippy” and unpredictable and maybe a bit mucky at times， but it’s out there。 Just keep looking。 Look high and low！ And hold on to it when you find it。 Hold on tight just like a slug in love！Recommended read。 It's an easy book to love。 Especially today。 Happy Valentine’s Day！p。s。 Props for the use of the word “super-duper”。 It’s such a sweet word！ 。。。more

Doug the slug needs a hug。 Will he ever get one？ Will he find love？ He meets worms， snails， caterpillars and spiders。 Don't give up， Doug！Lots of rhyming in this book。 Also， there are some good vocabular words， plod， grimy， slippy （must be a yinzer）， squelchy， slimy， icky， mucky， yucky， and sticky。 It really bothered me - I don't know that a kid would be bothered - but the fact that the last line doesn't rhyme。 It didn't seem to bother the preschool kids to whom this book was read in storytime， Doug the slug needs a hug。 Will he ever get one？ Will he find love？ He meets worms， snails， caterpillars and spiders。 Don't give up， Doug！Lots of rhyming in this book。 Also， there are some good vocabular words， plod， grimy， slippy （must be a yinzer）， squelchy， slimy， icky， mucky， yucky， and sticky。 It really bothered me - I don't know that a kid would be bothered - but the fact that the last line doesn't rhyme。 It didn't seem to bother the preschool kids to whom this book was read in storytime， so there's that， but for me， it was a little jarring。The illustrations are charming。 The kids enjoyed naming the bugs in the drawings。 。。。more

An adorable and silly picture book， great for younger readers。 The book uses character names as a starting point for telling the tale in rhyme and is exceptionally fun to read aloud with bright， simple illustrations。 Kids and parents alike will be tickled by a humorous twist and celebrate Doug's success at the end。 A fun tale that shows there is someone for everyone， even if it comes from the unexpected。- Reviewed by Chelsea G。 An adorable and silly picture book， great for younger readers。 The book uses character names as a starting point for telling the tale in rhyme and is exceptionally fun to read aloud with bright， simple illustrations。 Kids and parents alike will be tickled by a humorous twist and celebrate Doug's success at the end。 A fun tale that shows there is someone for everyone， even if it comes from the unexpected。- Reviewed by Chelsea G。 。。。more

Actual rating: 3。25 starsI love the rhyme scheme of this book！ The illustrations are absolutely adorable， but the story was kind of sad at the beginning。 Basically， the story is about a slug who wants to be loved but no one wants to hug him because he’s - well， a slug。 He finds love in the end， but the initial premise is kind of sad for a children's book。 Regardless， it's a nice story to read around Valentines Day and I staff picked it at the bookstore I work at。 Actual rating: 3。25 starsI love the rhyme scheme of this book！ The illustrations are absolutely adorable， but the story was kind of sad at the beginning。 Basically， the story is about a slug who wants to be loved but no one wants to hug him because he’s - well， a slug。 He finds love in the end， but the initial premise is kind of sad for a children's book。 Regardless， it's a nice story to read around Valentines Day and I staff picked it at the bookstore I work at。 。。。more

The love story of Doug the slug， who searches for love， and just a simple hug， but others thinks he's to grimy， slippy， squelchy， slimy just to name a few。 But what about Gail the snail？ Doug and Gail seem to be perfect for a romantic interlude。 Love is in the air。 The love story of Doug the slug， who searches for love， and just a simple hug， but others thinks he's to grimy， slippy， squelchy， slimy just to name a few。 But what about Gail the snail？ Doug and Gail seem to be perfect for a romantic interlude。 Love is in the air。 。。。more

This one had me laughing， especially when slug met Gail the Snail。 I like that it went somewhere unexpected with the ending。

~I received this book free from Netgalley for an honest review~This is a cute book with really beautiful artwork。 I usually have quite a soft spot for children's books that are about animals that aren't usually considered cute。 So， I loved that this is about a slug （who is actually very cute thanks to the artwork）。The story felt slightly lacking to me like there was something missing。 I know that there is only so much that you can fit into a children's book but I had read a lot of them and not r ~I received this book free from Netgalley for an honest review~This is a cute book with really beautiful artwork。 I usually have quite a soft spot for children's books that are about animals that aren't usually considered cute。 So， I loved that this is about a slug （who is actually very cute thanks to the artwork）。The story felt slightly lacking to me like there was something missing。 I know that there is only so much that you can fit into a children's book but I had read a lot of them and not really found this issue。 I just felt as if I didn't really click with the characters in the way that I usually do。Despite this， the book is very cute and I can see myself reading it to my little one who is currently on the way！ 。。。more

The pairing of Rachel Bright and Nadia Shireen is a match made in heaven: both are talented picturebook authors who have created some of the best books for the younger reader。。 In this particular little gem， Rachel Bright adopts the mantel of the wordsmith， while Nadia Shireen presents the complimentary images which， as usual， are worthy of much more than a passing glance。This is the story of Doug the slug who just wants to find someone to hug。 We join him on his quest and， in so doing， have the The pairing of Rachel Bright and Nadia Shireen is a match made in heaven: both are talented picturebook authors who have created some of the best books for the younger reader。。 In this particular little gem， Rachel Bright adopts the mantel of the wordsmith， while Nadia Shireen presents the complimentary images which， as usual， are worthy of much more than a passing glance。This is the story of Doug the slug who just wants to find someone to hug。 We join him on his quest and， in so doing， have the opportunity to share his hug lorn musings。 Bright's words simply jump and skim along through the story with opportunities for the all important 'joining in moments'。 Shireen's quirky images give the story some visual depth: they simply beg to be explored and allow the reader to ponder over what Doug might be thinking。 This is a book which should grace the bookshelves at home and at school and it is definitely for sharing and reading aloud: young children will just love Doug as will their teachers， parents and anyone who might happen to pick it up。Delightful。 。。。more

Many thanks to Simon & Schuster Children’s UK and NetGalley for providing me with a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review。This has become a new family favourite。 We couldn’t help but love Doug the lonely slug and rooted for him the entire way through。 It’s such a lovely story and the rhyming and repetition makes it a great choice for little readers。 Highly recommend！

A heartwarming rhyming tale of a slug who is searching for a hug。 This is an ugly duckling type story when the slug who is spurned finds friendship。 Beautifully illustrated and will capture the minds of children and parents

This is one of those amazing children's books with cute illustrations and an important story。 There are many Dougs out there， and yes， there is enough love for all the Dougs in the world！ I like how the words rhyme; children will enjoy it a lot。 This is one of those amazing children's books with cute illustrations and an important story。 There are many Dougs out there， and yes， there is enough love for all the Dougs in the world！ I like how the words rhyme; children will enjoy it a lot。 。。。more

Doug is a slug who needs a hug。 But who will love a slug？ This is a super cute story with easy words that rhyme that kids can easily follow。 The illustrations are bright and colorful and simple， so definitely a good picture book for small kids。

Irresistibly charming。I think we're all desperate to know though if Gail the snail is destined for the veil！ Here's hoping this isn't the last we see of dream duo Bright and Shireen。 Irresistibly charming。I think we're all desperate to know though if Gail the snail is destined for the veil！ Here's hoping this isn't the last we see of dream duo Bright and Shireen。 。。。more

Review to be added to Amazon UK and US on 21st January 2021 - publication day！This was a really nice little book to read。I loved the way that it was written and it had such a good flow to the story - we loved it！The illustrations were great and when I read it with my daughter we both felt so sorry for the slug so we were very happy that he got the ending he did！It is 5 stars from me for this one， a fun book to read with a good ending too - very highly recommended！

The Way Home For Wolf is one of my absolute favourite small children's books so I was really excited to get this one from netgalley。 It's super cute with lovely illustrations alongside really well done rhyming text and has a nice message for little ones too。 Rachel Bright has cemented her place on my must read with the baby list with this one。 The Way Home For Wolf is one of my absolute favourite small children's books so I was really excited to get this one from netgalley。 It's super cute with lovely illustrations alongside really well done rhyming text and has a nice message for little ones too。 Rachel Bright has cemented her place on my must read with the baby list with this one。 。。。more

Dan: Big big big fan of this book！ It has simple and sweet rhyming text but the illustrations add a wickedly funny dimension for the adults to enjoy。 I just simply adored the amount of character that Nadia Shireen manages to get into the simple illustrations。 Definitely a book I'll be adding to my reading aloud bag - it's a real treat！ Dan: Big big big fan of this book！ It has simple and sweet rhyming text but the illustrations add a wickedly funny dimension for the adults to enjoy。 I just simply adored the amount of character that Nadia Shireen manages to get into the simple illustrations。 Definitely a book I'll be adding to my reading aloud bag - it's a real treat！ 。。。more

Doug is a slug in need of a hug。 Sadly， people dislike slugs and won't give them hugs。This was adorable and I liked the ending very much because it says there are different kinds of love， and when you set out you might not find whatever you're looking for but see， there are other ways to be happy！ Be you！ Nobody is too weird to find friends！Would pass this on to a toddler in my life if I had a toddler in my life。The arc was provided by the publisher。 Doug is a slug in need of a hug。 Sadly， people dislike slugs and won't give them hugs。This was adorable and I liked the ending very much because it says there are different kinds of love， and when you set out you might not find whatever you're looking for but see， there are other ways to be happy！ Be you！ Nobody is too weird to find friends！Would pass this on to a toddler in my life if I had a toddler in my life。The arc was provided by the publisher。 。。。more

I received a free copy from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review。Slug in Love by Rachel Bright （author） & Nadia Shireen （illustrator） is a short illustrated children’s book following Doug’s rhyme-based quest to receive a hug。Doug’s story is a heartwarming tale all about finding your perfect partner。 It might not be an easy journey， but once you’ve found the one， there’s nothing better than getting cosy and having a cuddle。Rachel Bright’s written voice is fun and engaging， and Nadia Shireen I received a free copy from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review。Slug in Love by Rachel Bright （author） & Nadia Shireen （illustrator） is a short illustrated children’s book following Doug’s rhyme-based quest to receive a hug。Doug’s story is a heartwarming tale all about finding your perfect partner。 It might not be an easy journey， but once you’ve found the one， there’s nothing better than getting cosy and having a cuddle。Rachel Bright’s written voice is fun and engaging， and Nadia Shireen has done an excellent job of illustrating this one！ Each critter was simple but displayed an enormous amount of character。 Gail’s glasses are absolutely iconic！Slug in Love is simple， sweet， and very easy to follow。 It’s the perfect combination of adorable and weird！ 。。。more
