When Hamster brings his friend Hedgehog home to see his new treasure, he makes a horrifying discovery: it's been stolen! So the two set out to find the culprit, picking up other woodland animals along the way. While the text is wordy and somewhat preachy, the facial expressions on the animals are highly amusing, and readers will enjoy the simple detective work.
