This whole series is a wonderful series for 5 to 8 year old girls. Initially as a read aloud and then as in independent reader (grades 2 or 3). It is a mix of fantasy world and mystery, with two young adventurous girls. My daughter has loved every single one we’ve been able to put our hands on (over 30 so far). Lots of fun!

My 6 year old daughter is in 1st grade and loves this book series. She catches herself reading longer than the required time for her homework. I’m all for her being interested in reading and not just any reading but good stories for her age. I’m amazed she started reading these chapter books in Kindergarten. She also loves animals. There is also a series for colors (which we also have) and weather (which she’s getting for Christmas).

This book was a delightful surprise. Nothing dry about it. Whimsical and colorful and fun to read. My five year old granddaughter loves it and reads it often. It made a nice addition to the other more serious books on the care of hamsters. Probably the best recommendation is that she brought it to school for “Sharing” and also chose to include it in her stash of four books for her long plane trip.
