Een heerlijk hilarisch boek over een hamster die een hamsterdino wordt. Ja echt! Ik kon dit boek niet laten liggen, ik ben zowel een hamster als een dino fan en als deze twee worden gecombineerd... ja dan moet ik het wel lezen. En ik heb echt genoten van dit boek, ik vond onze hoofdpersoon erg leuk (en dapper en lief) en vond het top dat hij zo goed voor Rex zorgde (en ook later precies wist wat hij wilde). Ik lag regelmatig helemaal dubbel om de dingen die onze MC en onze schattige Dinohamster deden en de situaties waar ze in terecht kwamen. Laat geen junkfood achter bij Rex, want oh jee. :P
Het enige jammere vond ik het gepest. Ik ben wel blij dat onze MC zijn woordje durfde te zeggen, maar het pesten ging gewoon té ver. Wie gaat er nou cement gebruiken of pannenkoekenmix? :|

This was a fun read. It has enough cuteness with Hamstersaurus Rex and Sam taking over everything. Right from the start there's a missing hamster, who we later find out was having a pretty hearty meal that makes him what he becomes. And, the story goes on from there. An interesting adventure for sure. Enough, to catch the attention of many middle grade readers. Looking forward to getting the rest in this series for my little ones.

I read this to my 4 year old, who loved it. I think it’s one he will enjoy reading on his own in the future.

Forgot my book at home during my 6th grader's music class. After noticing this in my car I started it out of desperation and ended up liking it enough to want to finish it. Cute, funny and silly.

This would be perfect for a 3-6th grader who wants a silly story! Lillian and Mitchell enjoyed this story and the illustrations.

Punktabzug für die Toilettenepisoden. Über die darf in Gegenwart eines besonders lieben Menschen nicht gesprochen werden. Ansonsten ist alles da, was man braucht :
Freunde, Schule, nostalgische Sportlehrer und undurchschaubare Wendungen.

Closer to a 1.5.
There's a rich tradition in children's books for seemingly absurd premises. The Chocolate Touch, How to Eat Fried Worms to a point, there's a lot of stuff out there that just gets to the heart of the crazy imaginations that kids can have.
That brings us to Hamstersaurus Rex, the story of a classroom hamster that gets into some protein bars and becomes part-T-Rex.
Yup.
I have to say that this is really, really dumb. Like, really dumb. I love the lowbrow, but the caricature of the gym teacher, the really bad-at-being-a-bully-bully, the Evil Corporate Conglomerate (TM), all of these things mesh together for a story that just doesn't seem to work. There's nothing wrong with dumb books for kids - goodness knows there are enough dumb books and movies and shows for adults - but this one, just... yikes.
Avoid this if at all possible. It should have been better than it was.

This had a lot of cute puns. Geared toward boys, but cute for girls too. I really enjoyed it and will be looking for the second book.
