I, Freddy: Book One in the Golden Hamster Saga

(4) 1-3 Translated by John Brownjohn. Illustrated by Joe Cepeda. Freddy, a very intelligent golden hamster, first engineers his purchase from the pet store, then overcomes obstacles to arrange a new life as "a civilized hamster free to roam wherever he wants" and writes this, his autobiography. The plot occasionally becomes pedestrian, but Freddy's first-person voice is original, and Cepeda's line drawings add pizzazz.
