This is a very short book with good illustrations. The website says from ages 0-8. Probably up to age 5 or 6 is better. It's a story about a girl who has a hampster hidden in her closet (though she does this against her parents wishes). She wonders what the hampster does when she is not with it. She thinks whether it climbs, digs, sleeps, etc...It is a good jump off point for discussing the world outside of a kids (which is usually me, myself, and I). Getting kids to wonder how animals, plants, and other people "live" is a great exercise of the mind and reasoning aptitude.
