When his student friends compete on Kids Know Stuff, class hamster Einstein tags along, hoping for a chance to be a game show host himself. The story is rather didactic, but the simply structured narrative and childlike cartoons are inviting for readers moving on from chapter books. "Einstein's Tasty Tidbits" pages add interesting trivia; a quiz is appended. Reading list, websites.
