84. The fact that there is a childs book from the point of view of a class hamster

I was babysitting the other day and when I started reading the chapter of the bedtime story I was to read, I began to realise it was not from the point of view of a child in class but the hamster, yes you read correctly the class hamster is the narrator of this gripping read. it seems this hamster although knowing no one can hear it seems insistant an acting like they do shouting out suggestions and answers until every now and again it mentions the fact that no one understands what it was trying to say. It got weirder when it started talking to the frog and saying it accepted it's croaks as answers, it also suggested it could help a naughty student with there problems, then the caretaker came in and started talking spanish... at this point I seriously wondered whether I had fallen asleep and this was some weird invention by my subconcious or someone had slipped me drugs at some point. However, it seems this book does exist and children enjoy it. This thought makes me smile, especially knowing there are some truely mad writers out there.
