4.0 out of 5 stars For the little hamster lover, November 27, 2002

By A Customer

This is a nice book for the child hamster owner, perhaps for reading even before the pet is purchased. It does not contain all the details that a hamster owner might need, but it covers basic behavior and how to treat the pet. Cute photos, too!
