Who could resist the heroes of this daring tale of escape and adventure, danger and return? Allow me to introduce Rafferton Grey and Puckerford Brown, hamsters both. When Rafferton, driven by boredom makes a daring and ingenious escape from his cage, it’s his good fortune to meet Puckerford, a hamster also set on a fun day at the seaside to liven things up.
The two head off to enjoy all a day out has to offer – sunshine, paddling, ice cream and the fair! It’s not so much fun when night falls but two hamsters are better than one and they decide life in a comfy cage won’t be so bad with company. With these dynamic stars, a text that captures every bounce and leap of their escape and equally lively illustrations, this picture book is as much fun as a day out at the seaside. Hooray for hamsters!
Raffleton Grey is as bored as a hamster can be. He wants to go to the fair - but he's stuck in his cage. There's only one thing for it. Get ready for the most exciting hamster getaway in history!
Freedom means new friendships and tasty ice cream and fairground rides. But as night falls, things begin to get a bit scary. Perhaps home isn't so bad after all - especially if you have a new friend by your side.
This hilarious rhyming adventure is perfect for reading (and laughing!) out loud - a fun-packed summertime getaway that's irresistible to readers both big and small!
