Einstein
the class hamster loves facts and information. He hates pythons. The class is going
to audition for a trivia game show and Einstein is determined to help, especially
since the teacher is always napping. But only one of the students can
understand him, a shy outcast named Ned. Ned is willing to study, but that’s only
a single student. Einstein is determined and creative, will he find a way
before the python eats him?
This book
would be great for a reluctant or behind 2-3 grade reader. It features large
prints, lots of illustrations, and tons of pages of interesting facts. The
story has heart and it not overly long. I like that its entertaining while
sneaking in some education components.
