Daydreams of a Solitary Hamster

56 pp. | Enchanted Lion | July, 2010 | Trade ISBN 978-1-59270-093-6 $17.95
(4) K-3 Illustrated by Pauline Martin. This French import presents a series of vignettes about Hamster and friends Mole, Snail, and Hedgehog, among others. Self-absorbed Hamster's concerns about food and his upcoming birthday party contrast with his pals' philosophical musings about nature, friendship, and loyalty. The book's oversized trim size and clean cartoon-panel design are appealing, but the content is a little esoteric for the picture book set.
