(3) K-3 Illustrated by Vivane Schwarz. Some hamster-like creatures have outgrown their junkyard birthplace, so they set off on a perilous and amusing search for a new home. The brave band sticks together to triumph over obstacles--such as a puddle--that are small for humans but large for them. Witty illustrations, including some comic panels and speech balloons, depict the journey from the inexperienced critters' point of view.
