Meet Doug.

Doug is a hamster with a taste for trouble. From shaking fizzy pop (uh-oh) to pressing oh-so-tempting red buttons, Doug just cannot help himself. Look! There he goes again . . . Don't do it, Doug!

A laugh-out-loud story about one hamster's battle with impulse control.

Part of the sensational series The World of Hank. Also available . . . Hank Goes Honk, Hank Meets Frank, Hank Goes Peck

You know that little voice in your headβ€”the one that says, "Do NOT do that thing." Doug ignores it. Every. Single. Time.

From shaking fizzy pop (uh-oh) to pressing oh-so-tempting red buttons, Doug just cannot help himself. Look! There he goes again . . . Don't do it, Doug!

From the powerhouse pair behind Hank Goes Honk comes a whirlwind of a story about one tiny hamster and his big-time battle with impulse control.

Packed with bold art, belly laughs and brilliant read-aloud energy, this book is perfect for kids who struggle to sit still (and the grown-ups who struggle to keep up)!

If you loved I Really Want the Cake by Simon Philip and Lucia Gaggiotti, Barbara Throws a Wobbler by Nadia Shireen, or The Koala Who Could by Rachel Bright and Jim Field, you're going to adore Dougβ€”even if he is chaos walking . . .

Part of the sensational series The World of Hank. Also available . . . Hank Goes Honk, Hank Meets Frank, Hank Goes Peck

About the Author

When not writing, Maudie spends far too much of her time in expensive shops gawping at clothes and glittery things she cannot afford, and dreaming about owning a pug called Stanley. She would love to say that she runs marathons - but that would be a lie.
