I struggled a little to hear Hugo the Hamster's accent initially, but once I realised he was from ''Hamsterdam'' I had a better idea. All the different characters would make this a fun story to read aloud with children, and parents with a dramatic leaning could really get their teeth into playing multiple characters with various different accents. Each chapter is reasonably short, enough for a bedtime read or to give a confident reader who is reading it alone the sense that they're progressing well through the story. I'd definitely recommend it for older primary school aged children to read themselves, and I think parents would enjoy it too at bedtimes thanks to the humour that runs throughout the book.
I'd like to thank the publishers for sending a copy to The Bookbag. We also have a review of [[The Pongwiffy Stories 1: A Witch of Dirty Habits and The Goblins' Revenge by Kaye Umansky|The Pongwiffy Stories 1: A Witch of Dirty Habits and The Goblins' Revenge]] and [[Tales From Witchway Wood: Crash 'n' Bang by Kaye Umansky|Tales From Witchway Wood: Crash 'n' Bang]], both by Kaye Umansky.
If this book appeals then we think that you'll enjoy [[The Amazing Maurice and His Educated Rodents by Terry Pratchett]].
