The book is enjoyable; Harriet is so worried about being chosen that she transforms herself into a "glamster," but actually looks ridiculous. Patricia cleans her up, and they get chosen together at the end of the story. I like the message it sends: patience is key, and it is always important to be yourself. There is no greater side than "you."

Summary: Two hamsters are worried they will never be adopted, when one of them decides to become a "glamster" to get noticed like she saw in a magazine.

Genre: Fantasy

Critique: This is a great example of fantasy because the hamsters are talking to each other, and they are also reading magazines written for hamsters.

Theme: It's important to be yourself and not pretend to be anyone else.
