Description:
A great children’s book featuring a small child and many of his hamster friends. It’s almost bedtime and as the father counts the minutes down the young child goes through his bedtime rituals with all his hamster tourists who have come to enjoy the fun. This book is geared toward ages 2 to 6.

Review:
This book is just plain cute. How many times have our children scurried around to get ready for bed? This young child has a lot of help that only he can see. As Dad counts the minutes down, while immersed in his paper and totally unaware of the frolics of his child and friends, the bed time rituals begin.

With adorable illustrations this book will grab any child’s attention. It’s colorful and full of crazy antics. The child’s pet hamster advertises in the paper a bedtime tour. Before the night is over there are numerous hamsters running around. They help him brush his teeth, have a snack, read a book and they even fill the bathtub. They hula, water ski, boat and lie in lawn chairs.

The whole time Dad is hollering from his chair 10 minutes until bedtime, 9 minutes until bedtime and so on. When Dad shouts “Bedtime!” they all scatter away.

This book leaves a little to the imagination also. Are these hamsters real or just the wild imagination of a young child?

Kids love this book because it’s so active. There is something exciting happening on every page. It brings the hamsters to life even in their arrival by buses, taxis and even golf carts. In addition, it helps children with their counting. From the minutes until bedtime to the numbered hamsters, they will be counting on their own before you know it.

If you’re looking for a great book to read to your children at bedtime, get a copy of this one. There is so much going on that every time you read it to your child they will find something new and entertaining. I even enjoy it myself.
