Review

Hot Rod Hamster and his friends rent ATVs from Awesome ATV adventures for a day of fun in this early reader. Colorful, digital illustrations accompany the simple text. Dialogue is placed in speech bubbles in a graphic novel style. Children who love vehicles will enjoy the plot, especially when one vehicle becomes stuck in the mud and needs to be towed. Hot Rod Hamster is a recommended purchase for libraries. It is sure to be a hit with emerging readers (both boys and girls) who enjoy reading about cars, trucks and four-wheelers.

Overall Book Score: good
