One little girl has a pet hamster, and she takes good care of it. She gives it fresh water and the right kind of food, she cleans its cage, and she calls it by name. Read and find out all about hamsters -- what they eat, when they sleep, and how an owner can keep her pet healthy and happy.

This simple introduction to pets and pet care is also a first step into understanding animal classification, as readers learn the difference between tame and wild animals. Simple, clear language and lively art make this a treat for every child who's ever begged for a pet.
