Runaway Hamster (Sweet Valley Kids #2)

undefined

From School Library Journal --------------------------- Grade 2-4--The formative years of the Wakefield twins are now chronicled and packaged for beginning readers in the primary grades. At seven, Jessica and Elizabeth are into dressing alike, planning a joint birthday party, and car ing for the class pet, rather than into romance. Thus far, the series features the art work and controlled vocabulary characteristic of basal readers and de scriptions of fantasy outfits that would be the envy of any second grade girl. In Runaway Hamster the girls must con fess that they allowed their class pet to escape in their home during Christmas vacation. Surprise! Surprise! features the twins getting ready to celebrate their seventh birthday. Their problems are real and contemporary, the solu tions are ideal, and their parents are perfect. There's a "promo" for the se ries' next title at the end of each book. "Frog and Toad," they're not, but the fledgling Wakefields are a new product to be reckoned with. -Doris Fong, Benson High School, Portland, OR Copyright 1989 Reed Business Information, Inc.
