Informative how-to manual for children keen on keepingpet hamsters
I actually think this is a good manual for children who wish to keep pet hamsters, but I took one star off because the book portrays the child in the story, Katie, as obtaining her pet hamster from a pet store. I feel that in this day of abandoned and unwanted pets, adoption from shelters would be a better approach. The book is well-illustrated in full-color illustrations, and gives tips on how to take care of a pet hamster. This covers choosing a hamster (the various breeds are listed), what time of day would be appropriate for picking a hamster, how to prepare a pet hamster's cage, dietary requirements,grooming, cleaning the cage, the sort of toys that would be hamster-appropriate, keeping the pet hamster healthy, etc. The last pages of the book portray the various parts of a hamster, it's life cycle, a glossary, and links (both books and weblinks) where one can learn more about hamsters. A wonderful how-to manual for children keen on keeping hamsters as pets. ... Read more

If you re thinking about getting a pet but don t want a traditional animal like a cat or dog, you might want to consider getting a pet chinchilla. One of the best things about this pet is that it s so soft. In fact, it has the softest fur in the world. Chinchillas are unique in other ways, too. They are from a very dry and dusty place that has very little water. So, to clean themselves, they roll around in a special volcanic dust! Chinchillas aren t all fun and games, though. As with any other pet, you need to feed your chinchilla the right foods, clean its cage, and spend time playing with it. Are you convinced you d like one of these animals as your pet? If so, read on to find out how you can convince your parents, too! ... Read more

Be careful seeking advice...
...from any of this author's books...Ms. Barrie was just the publisher's secretary...the publisher is Herb Axelrod and under cross-examination during litigation against him Ms. Barrie said whenever Axelrod assigned her to do a book she just went to the library for references and then spent a week writing each one...Axelrod ultimately was sentenced to 18 months in prison for tax evasion and Ms. Barrie is now working as a dental hygienist...Axelrod carries some weight among fish fans but I'd be cautious about taking advice from any of Ms. Barrie's books.

Outdated information
The information contained in the book is outdated and could be hazardous to your hamster. "White shaving" aka pine shavings are a no-no due to potential respiratory problems. The wire wheel, is also a no-no. Every year, many hamsters are seriously injured by wire wheels. There are better, much more up to date books that give safer information than this book!
