Whether taking a spin on the Ferris wheel, stopping a burglary in progress, napping at the foot of a mountain, or gazing longingly off into a sunset, Humongous Hamster is a hero every kid will adore. He eats trees like broccoli, gives kids a ride to the park, and scares the neighbor's cat. He is so silly that he's completely irresistible. In the end, though, he misses his human friend. So he will return to normal hamster size . . . until the next time he's humongously hungry!

Lorna Freytag has worked as a photographer in New York, Dubai, London, and Sydney. She uses her many scribbled sketchbooks, digital camera, and post-production techniques to bring her ideas to life.
This is the kind of fancy a kid dreams up while playing with a pet on the floor—from that angle the pet looks huge! Here an unnamed narrator fantasizes that her hamster’s oversize hunger leads to a physical transformation. Too big for the house, the lumbering beast (still awful cute, though) wreaks light havoc all around town: “He’d eat trees like broccoli. He’d be a danger crossing the road.” But he would, come to think of it, have a blast at the fair by using the Ferris wheel as a giant hamster wheel. He might even be able to help cops catch criminals. Of course, by the end, he would be sad missing his owner and probably shrink back down again . . . right? What makes this extra-adorable is that Freytag illustrates with photo collages to create such amusing sights as the hamster lording over a cityscape or helping a little girl from a tree. The best is the depiction of 11 children riding to school on the hamster’s back. Let’s just hope the hamster doesn’t get the munchies along the way. Preschool-Grade 1. --Daniel Kraus
