From two-time Caldecott winner Chris Van Allsburg, creator of ''Jumanji'' and ''The Polar''''Express, '' comes a poignant story of one hamsters struggle with destiny. Being a pet store hamster isnt much fun for Sweetie Pie, but life in human homes proves downright perilous. As Sweetie Pie longingly gazes out of his cage at the squirrels frolicking in the trees, he wonders if hell ever have the chance to feel the wind in his fur. Allsburgs expressive, soft-hued illustrations artfully capture a hamsters-eye view of the wide and wonderful world where maybe, just maybe, Sweetie Pie could someday run free.
