In scenes bursting with physical comedy, Schwarz's furry animals squabble, fret, and cheer each other on...Children will clamor for repeats.
—Publishers Weekly (starred review)
The hapless hamsters will entice pre-readers into following their adventures with or without words, but it’s really young readers who will snicker at this story of the brave and clueless making their way into the open air.
