Don't Do It, Doug! -- Maudie Powell-Tuck, Hardcover

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.

About the Author
Maudie Powell-Tuck spends too much of her time in expensive shops looking at clothes and glittery things she can't afford, and dreaming about owning a pug named Stanley (when she's not writing, of course). She'd love to say that she runs marathons - but that would be a lie.

Duncan Beedie is a best-selling author and illustrator who has been drawing and doodling since childhood, sprawled out on his parents' living room carpet with felt tip in fist. He now sits upright to draw from his studio in Bristol, where he lives with his wife, daughter, and demanding springer spaniel.
