Illustrated by
Derek Anderson.
A feisty little hamster is determined to join the big dogs in a hot rod race. With help from his friends (and the reader), Hamster builds the perfect car. A consistent rhyming text poses choices ("Rust car, clean car, itty bitty green car") and asks, "Which would you choose?" Large, colorful acrylic illustrations enhance the action of this root-for-the-underdog read-aloud.
