The Misadventures of Sweetie Pie

32 pp. | Houghton | November, 2014 | Trade ISBN 978-0-547-31582-9 $18.99
(4) K-3 Hamster Sweetie Pie finally leaves the pet shop but finds himself passed along from young owner to owner and ultimately abandoned in a snowy schoolyard. The conclusion reveals a surprising new home. Light, expert pictures never seem quite connected to the prosy text, which is mostly an overlong catalog of woes, lacking a theme or sense of motivation.
