What is Don't Do It, Doug about?

Doug is a curious little hamster who simply cannot resist pressing buttons, pulling levers and trying things he has been told not to do. Each impulsive choice leads to a new and wonderfully silly mishap, from causing chaos in a shop to getting into trouble outdoors. As Doug’s adventures become more outrageous, a helpful insect friend shows him fun, safer ways to use his energy. A lively, laugh-out-loud picture book about curiosity, consequences, friendship and learning self-control.
