This is such a charming story about bullying and its effects, as told through the pictures and words of hamsters. Waffles and Pancakes haven't been acting themselves ever since a certain trip to the vet, where they met a guinea pig named Oscar. He bullies them and makes them feel bad and afraid. Once their owners figure out what's wrong, they talk to the boy who owns Oscar, and he's mean to them for coming to his house. The boys l...more

I have to say that I’m really surprised about this book. It's rare to come across a book that touches your heart and leaves an impact. As a kid I was bullied a lot so reading this book both made me remember some of those memories, as well as it also helped me understand those bullies better too. I realized that sometimes people say mean things to cover up their problems and insecurities. I’m not saying that what those bullies said was excusable but I now have a better understanding of some of th...more
The story is a lesson in friendship, featuring two hamsters named Waffles and Pancakes. The hamsters live together at a pet store. One day, two little boys come in to purchase them. Danny's family doesn't have a lot of money for his new pet Waffles. Griffin, on the other hand, comes from a family that could afford to buy Pancakes all kinds of toys and a fancy cage for a house.

This is a very cute book about how you can be friends with people who are not the same as yourself. Yes it is about two boys and two hamsters, but one boy & hamsters is very well off and the other pair is not. Pancakes, the rich hamster, has everything you could possible want to give to your pet hamster. Waffles however, has the bare minimum. What Waffles has that Pancakes doesn't is a very attentive owner. As is common with people who have a lot of money, they also have a lot of things. Gri...more
I just read waffles and pancakes with my 10 year old daughter and she turned to me and said "that's what you tell me all the time I want to hug these guys!" It was so cute. Waffles and pancakes are two very special hamsters indeed because even though they come from different backgrounds they both are very loved. The story has such a wonderful moral and it is told so beautifully through Cindy's words. It's a great little story that should be shared over and over again with as many children as pos...more
Waffles and Pancakes are two friendly hamsters who share a space at a local pet store. The two hamsters knew that someday they would find new homes and possibly never see each other again. Sure enough, one day two boys that attend the same school, Danny and Griffin, visited the pet store looking for a new pet. One boy was wealthy and one was not. Each hamster had a different life from the other. One enjoyed love and friendship, the other enjoyed material things but no love or friendship. Surpris...more

This is a great book written by Cindy Springsteen. It was wonderfully written and had great illustrations. My son really enjoyed the book and I had to read it a few times and I’m sure I will have to read it to him again soon. He really loved the hamsters in the story. He also enjoyed the colorful pictures. I was worried that he wouldn’t follow the story (since he just turned three), but he surprised me. He took from it that “cause you [mommy], and Nana, and pop love me so much we are happy with...more
I have never reviewed a children's book book before but I have several friends who either have written or are in the process of writing them so I figured I would give it a go. I never really understood children, even when I was one but here goes.

Another great story from Cindy, and a good subject to talk about with your kids. I would recommend this book to anyone with little ones, kids of all ages and even adults can take away something from this lovely book, just like with the first book of Waffles and PAncakes, we fell in love with this one too. Cindy brings out a good point that bullying is not just physical but verbal too, and it can affect anyone in different ways. My 8yr old said "It's a great book, for learning that you shouldn't...more

It also teaches that the grass is not always greener on the other side. Waffles and Pancakes start out hamster friends at a pet shop.

This book appealed to me for the lesson it imparts to young readers. After having read the book aloud to my husband, I actually feel, adults need this lesson as well.
There are two Hamsters that are friends. Their names are Pancakes and Waffles. Each hamster is adopted by young boys.
One child has more advantages at home than the other. A chance meeting at school brings both boys and hamsters together and some very important life lessons are learned.

I recently read this book as I was considering different books to read to my god-daughter. The message of friendship in the story is an important one for children that is conveyed in a way that engages the child. My god-daughter loves animals, so she was more inclined to pay attention to the story because of it. The story allows kids to learn that even though they have things, love and friendship is so much more important. The illustrations were colorful and clearly detailed the actions in the s...more
I just won this book through a Facebook contest, yay!! This book was absolutely adorable and had a wonderful message. This is an adorable story about appreciating what you have and understanding that love is the most important thing of all. As long as you have someone that loves you, nothing else matters. I really enjoyed this children's book and the message children will take away from it. And come on, it doesn't get any better, or cuter, than two hamster pals named Waffles and Pancakes!! Thank...more
Waffles and Pancakes are two cute fuzzy hamsters. One has a lot of material possessions while the other has a basic cage. One is loved and played with every day, and the other is often forgotten. These two hamsters and their boys are friends.
I just read this book to my three-year-old daughter. When she heard what Griffin's family got for their hamster, she said, "Wow, that's a lot!" She especially enjoyed the colorful illustrations, and I especially enjoyed the message that the importance of fri...more

This book has a great message and great illustrations to go along with each page. I could read this book to a 3 year old or to a middle schooler and the message for each age group is in there. It talks of the "parents" when their "kid" is in a bullying situation, it teaches from the perspective of the "kids" getting bullied, and it tells why the bully did what he did. It has a happy ending which was great because a bullying situation can be handled and can have a good outcome. I really enjoyed t...more
Beautifully written book that shows so much about friendship and bullying. I shows how children really can really get hurt by bullyies but there is always a reason why this person is a bully. This book is about two kids that each get a hamster and become best friends. These children know their hamsters so well that they notice that they have changed their behavior. The kids have to investigate what is going on with the hamsters. They decide to take the waffles and pancakes (hamsters) to the vet...more
Waffles and Pancakes are hamsters bought on the same day from the same pet store. Their owners, Danny and Griffin treat them differently with one being played with a lot while the other is not. As the boys become friends, they learn how to be friends themselves while allowing Waffles and Pancakes to also become friends.
This is a good book for younger children, teaching them how to be a friend.

I loved this child's book written by Cindy Springsteen. I wish this could edge its way into every elementary school. Such an endearing story about friendship. It teaches how life can actually bring people together, instead of separating them. When there is a common love for something, it can bond two totally different people together. Every mother should want to buy this, because it is a perfect bedtime book. Such a perfect little book for young and old, with a great story line!
Waffles and Pancakes addresses the bullying situation that is prevalent in the world today in a manner that children can understand. This book is simple and entertaining for kids, while teaching a lesson that they can easily grasp. I would recommend this book to anyone with children! The bullying cycle needs to be stopped, and this is a great way to bring awareness to kids! Disclaimer ~ I received this book from the author in exchange for an honest review.
Waffles and Pancakes follows two hamsters, namely Waffles and Pancakes. Through their eyee, the young reader will be able to read and talk about difficult lessons, in this case bullying. It approaches the subject with great tact and the illustrations are clean and crisp making it very inviting and and easy to look at. For the very young it will allow them to realise that simply words can hurt.
This is a great way to introduce such subjects and is a lovely book.

The minute my kids and I opened up this book we loved it, all the pictures and colors are great and the story line is awesome. Whenever I buy a book and my kiddos take away a lesson from it, it's a book to truly appreciate, shows you that not everything in life is about being materialistic, but about the love and frienships that you can have and make along the way. Definetely happy to have read this book, and to have shared it with my little ones.
We adore Waffles & Pancakes!
Ok... I have to tell you how well this book went over with my 9 & 6 yr. olds!! They adore Waffles & Pancakes! =) We read the e-book together last night, & they talked all morning about how happy they were about the outcome of the story! I LOVE finding books that my kids love while getting something out of it at the same time! Such great lessons to be learned ... I'm definitely going to need this book in print!!

I was given this book in return for an honest review. This is a book about 2 little hamsters and the 2 boys that adopt them. The story is a lesson about how money doesn't mean everything and how love is much more important. It is told in such a way that kids will get the message. My daughter loved it, the fact that animals are the main characters really grabs kids attention. This quote from the book is one to live by "It doesn't matter how much money or how many things you have. As long as you h...more
This short story was given to me by the author for an honest review.
First off, the illustrations in this book are excellent! The story is quick and to the point. You learn the value that the author is trying to portray very quickly without it being naggy. Secondly, the story was so cute I almost cried. The tears were there but they just didn't fall.
Thanks again Cindy for the awesome read!!!!!
