Editorial Reviews

Review

"A cheerful little counting book that both parents and children will find a fun and simple introduction to counting from one to ten. Each hamster filled page offers rhymes and activities that are easy to vocally embellish or mime for the enjoyment of both parent and child." ― CM Magazine

"Counting books are a dime a dozen, but few attain the outright adorableness of Montreal artist Kass Reich's first board book. Rendered in earth tones with hints of hot pink, Reich's splay-toed rodents frolic in the sun, eat some rice, and, yes, hold hands. The text is simple and fun, a combination that will no doubt strike a chord with wee ones." ― Quill & Quire

"Why another counting book? All you have to do is look at the adorable hamster heroes in this original board book...Their outstretched front paws and wide grins exude joy...Pure delight." ― www.twentybyjenny.com

★ "This charming counting book features spunky, pear-shaped hamsters...engaging in simple yet unexpected fun...Debut talent Reich brings subtle, off-kilter humor―with props like balloons, pinwheels, and snorkel gear―and an understated style to her spreads, with the hamsters' citrus hues playfully smudged outside their outlines. It's hard not to smile at images of the happy hamsters jumping rope or working on their tans." ― Publishers Weekly, starred review

"The illustrations are brightly colored and full of activities. This is a delightful book that children and parents will enjoy reading together again and again." ― Southwestern Ohio Young Adult Materials Review Group

"There's a lovely quiet charm about this board book...Definitely check this book out for young readers or kids practicing their numbers." ― Crowding the Book Truck blog

"Here's a new board book for infants and toddlers that will entertain them, teach them the numbers from one to 10, and will set their toes a-tapping...Parents and wee ones can enjoy [Reich's] charming poems and captivating illustrations together. A lovely gift for a baby, your own or someone else's." ― The Muskokan

"Ridiculously sweet and fun....Reich’s illustration style, too, is unique and playful. The palette is all gentle, warm, browns and oranges and soft greens and yellows. The outlines of the images are clearly drawn but a bit wobbly, and the washes of colour spill outside the lines a bit, here and there, in sort of a tacit ode to the drawings of little kids. The small details are fantastically clever as well...If you’re bored to death of tired, retread counting books, Hamsters Holding Hands is the solution to your problem!" ― www.noodlenuts.com

5.0 out of 5 stars Thanks for ruining my life

I picked this book up at the library for my 16 month old son at the library because I liked the pictures. Terrible mistake. I don't have to read it anymore, I can just recite it over and over half asleep while he turns the pages. We've read him tons of books, but this? It's like crack or something; he's totally addicted. I tried to take it back to the library but found he dug it out of the library bag before I took it- twice. So, we had to buy it. Would I say these hamsters single handed sparked my son's love for cardboard literature? That'd be the understatement of the century. I can't get anything else done with all the hamsters I have to count! Hoping he loves the other books in the hamsters series.

Got this based on ratings here and from seeing a friend get it as a favorite from her kids for someone. It's a nice little book. Very basic but my 5 month old loves looking at the pictures and numbers and follows it well. Only gave it four stars because it's very very basic, cute though!

5.0 out of 5 stars Hamsters rule!
Reviewed in the United States on July 5, 2012
Hamsters Holding Hands is my new favorite counting book. It has well defined illustrations and items that are easy to count, and gives a nice large look at each number to aid in developing number recognition. We count up from one to ten, but not back again, marking this as a beginner counting tale. The rhyme is short and well written, with one line of text per two page spread, certain not to overwhelm even the youngest story listeners. The color palette consists of muted tones of green, oranges, yellows and tans, providing a nice visual relief from the usual primary color assortment.

All of the stuff I listed above makes this a great counting book for any child who is just beginning to learn how to count. What makes this my new favorite counting book is that these hamsters are just about the cutest critters I've seen grace the pages of a board book - ever. One look at these little guys with their jump ropes, balloons, and pinwheels are sure to make anyone smile, and kids and parents will want to make sure they look at every single one. They are simplistic in design and totally charming!

This is a board book, so it is sure to stand up to lots of hamster re-reads. I just wish it was larger so I could use it for story time. I'm ready for Hamsters ABC, and hope these little furry guys make it to the big picture book pages soon. A solid recommend for any toddler's collection.

This is a very sweet and beautifully illustrated little book. My daughter often picks this one out when it comes to reading time. She is so delighted when we count the little hamsters. Great book, happy I bought it for my baby! (11 month old, I would buy it for toddlers and little kids as well)
