The straight up best retelling of Cinderella I’ve ever read, hands down

This book caused me to contemplate upon what hamsters find attractive.

This book is my favourite in the series (so far). It was funny and sweet. I loved the bat ambassador, I hope we'll get to see more of him in the future volumes.

Another great adventure with Princess Harriet Hamsterbone! In this, she must help undo a fairy's gift to Ella, who doesn't actually want to go to the ball and meet a prince. Full of the same clever writing and witty commentary, this is a must read for fans of the series. Highly recommended for grades 1 & up.

I realize that I have evangelized about the Hamster Princess books before, but my five-year-old and I just finished Whiskerella and it is, no joke, a masterpiece of children's literature. I am utterly enthralled by how fun and great the story is, with a capable, fierce, obstinate yet not obnxious Harriet, and the steadfast not-a-warrior-yet-also-capable bff Wilbur. In this installment, we also have a reasonable adult, the bat ambassador, who is utterly charmed by Harriet's shenanigans and beomes a gleeful accesory to chaos, and a scene where after Harriet and Wilbur are

Spoiler

transformed into riding quail, crash into a ballroom and make it understood that they've been transformed, the Hamster King without a beat looks at Harriet and declares that he loves her and supports her whether she's a hamster or a quail, no matter what. (to which Harriet swears mildly about it being lovely but not the point).

Guys. It's so perfect, I had ordered Little Red Rodent Hood to stick in the child's stocking and instead busted it out today under the guise of "you're sick, I'll humor you." But mainly, I just wanted to start reading it myself.

It's another Hamster Princess adventure! It's pretty much what you'd expect, but in a good way.

4.5 Stars. So fun! The last one didn’t click for me but this one was terrific. Everything I first loved about this series is evident - the clever twist on a classic fairy tale, the humor, the great characters.
