Customer Reviews

Good for 1st grader who is not an early reader
This book was good for my son who is in 1st grade, but not an early reader. The story line, as in the entire series, is slightly different from other early readers. In this case, a hamster stands in for a ground hog. My son was proud to be able to read the book and used it for an optional book report. The plot is not as strong in this story as it is in other books of the series, but this book recreates something you could actually imagine happening in class. The illustrations are good and there is a lot of detail worthy of discussion. At the same time, it is relatively simple and may not be not one a child would want to read over and over. Get free shipping and share the book with other children or donate to the class. I highly recommend the Robin Hill School series by Margaret McNamara.
