Acting alone, and never speaking (though he's inclined to singing a little opera at times), Max the hamster tries his hand at all sorts of activities with varying degrees of success. Max is solidly slapstick comedy, but of the cultured sort, fitting for publication in Punch, where he made his debut circa 1950.
My family discovered Max in the local library's children's section (!) when I was about seven. Max's highly expressive face delighted the brother and me. He derived great enjoyment—and disgust—from the most unlikely situations. The brother discovered a tiny hardbound copy of 40 Max cartoons in a used bookstore; it is one of my most treasured books.

This book was given to my sister, brother and myself when we were children. It is a very droll little book, with whimsical illustrations of human-esque hedgehogs living a life of ease.

Probably my favorite book from age three to age now. Never fails to make me feel happy, and always entertains.
