HIP HIP HOORAY
it's National Hug Day!
What better way to celebrate such a special day than to welcome dear friend of the Sniffer and creator of none other than Hugless Douglas himself Mr David Melling!
David popped up to Sniffer Towers to give us a sneak peek at some of the development work from his latest fabulous Hugless Douglas adventure
'Hugless Douglas and the Great Bake Off'
published by Hodder Children's Books in March.
Take a look: David Melling talks about Hugless Douglas
DAVID: I usually start building ideas by doodling random scenarios of the main characters, then hopefully picking up threads that could lead to a story idea. I can often draw most of a story before I get to the writing.
David: Douglas licking finger 'Whose been walking on MY bed?'
DAVID: Honey glazed sheep hanging from tree, Douglas finds his missing honey - 'Why are you wearing my honey?' asked Douglas
DAVID: The afterglow effect of consuming many honey cakes.
DAVID: Watching paint dry...(masking out honey foot prints)
DAVID: Last spread showing detail of the sheep as they demonstrate how to decorate honey cakes; rolling out chocolate icing
