What a cute story!

[Arthur Pengerbil]

Max and Mo are a pair of school hamsters who remind us of certain library rodents we know you all love. Max and Mo share a habitat in the school's art room and watch the children participate in class. In each book they sneak out of their cage to have some fun of their own using a few basic art supplies. Each book has directions for an art project at the end. The only way this series could be made better would be if Max and Mo were gerbils instead of hamsters.

So cute to read before doing a snowman craft. Perfect length for Pre-K attention spans!

Hamster Max and Mo make a paper snowman. Instructions on how to make your own are found in the back. Not a great story, but good enough.

Love the instructions on how to make the snowman that Max & Mo had made.

I liked when they made a snowman.

My 6 year old daughter was almost able to read this all by herself.

I enjoy the adorable pictures in this series. It's too cold for Max and Mo to go outside with the school children, but they can make their own snow fun.

This "Ready-To-Read" book features Max and Mo, two very creative hamsters in an elementary school classroom. The narrative is short, featuring only a couple of sentences on any given page. The watercolor illustrations are cartoonish and fun. I've read this one a couple of times and I think it's great for beginning readers.

I would use this book in my class to talk about snowflakes. We would talk about how no two snowflakes are the same. I would then lead into an activity about making snowflakes and the different shapes they are.

An early reader I checked out for Asher (4 years old) to practice reading. He could read probably 75% of the words. I really liked that it at least had a story to it and the characters were cute.

Cute, happy illustrations.

Pretty surprising, but the book is about making a craft. Very inspiring.
