Memoirs of a Hamster by Devin Scillian Summary: A pet hamster is enticed by the family cat to venture outside his well-equipped cage to the sunroom only to very quickly discover life outside his cage is not the best for him.
My Thoughts: This is the same author-illustrator duo who wrote Memoirs of a Goldfish, another fun book. I really liked this story! It has lots of humor that kids and adults will get, although the Hoover reference may need to be explained to some children. The hamster has a wonderful voice, that lends this book to use in the classroom. This would be a fun book to use with a lesson on organization too. Downloadable teaching guides are available online at the publisher's website.
