Curiosity gets Doug into trouble

Doug is a hamster who can’t resist a lever or button, and his curiosity repeatedly leads to consequences. The comic setup gives the book a clear focus on impulse control, with friendship also identified as a central theme. At 32 pages, it presents this lesson through Doug’s misadventures rather than as a guide or set of instructions.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Children who enjoy humorous animal stories and silly mishaps.
  • Families looking for a picture book that opens conversation about impulse control and friendship.

Book overview

A humorous story for children ages 3-7 of a lovable hamster named Doug, who has a penchant for curiosity but absolutely no impulse control.

From the creative team of Hank Goes Honk comes Don't Do It, Doug!, the story of a lovable hamster with a penchant for curiosity--and a serious lack of impulse control.

Poor Doug. There's not a lever he won't pull or a button he won't push. Will he ever learn to control himself?

Children will giggle at Doug's silly antics and will love watching the unfortunate consequences of his actions unfold, while grown-ups will appreciate the themes of friendship and learning impulse control.
