Doug is a robot.
His parents want him to be smart, so each morning they plug him in and start the information download.
After a morning spent learning facts about the city, Doug suspects he could learn even more about the city by going outside and exploring it.
And so Doug .
unplugs.
What follows is an exciting day of adventure and discovery.
Doug learns amazing things by doing and seeing and touching and listening and above all, by interacting with a new friend.
Dan Yaccarino's funny story of robot rebellion is a great reminder that sometimes the best way to learn about the world is to go out and be in it.
