  1. I really enjoyed the first Hamster book (Hot Rod, Hamster). I plan to use it as a read-a-loud with my kindergartners. The bright colors and large size make it ideal for sharing. This book looks just as fun.

  2. How cute! I have never read a Hamster book. The illustrations look great. I know it is more for Pre-K but I think even my toddler class would love to look and point to the pictures of the different animals on the pages. They’ve really been into animals for the past couple weeks! :) Thank you for sharing!

  9. I haven’t seen these hamster books, but omg they look adorable! I like that they are full of color and short easy verses just enough to keep my little ones attention and let my slightly older one read!
