Summary from Maverick Books
Marco and Polo simply love adventures but disaster hits when they are left in charge of Marco’s many cousins!
Nayu's thoughts
I wanted to read this book based on the title without having read a
summary or seen the cover. I love hamsters, and suspected much
mischief would happen in the hamster sitter hunt-I was so right!
These hilarious critters take mischief to another level, mostly
because there are so many of them. They manage to get rid of 2
babysitters, but then a perfect one is found leaving Marco and Polo
to enjoy themselves.
The energetic story made me smile, andthe clever
illustrations gave it extra zing. I learned why Stinky gets their
name, I adored the cute bows and flowers in the girl hamsters'
hair, how portraits on stairs seemed to look at the action, how
knitting is enjoyed by the tearaways (yay craft promotion!), how they cause chaos when they
play, plus having to spot animals in all the scenes who are probably wanting to
hid from the hamster scrum. This is such a happy book, one much
needed after a war read, and I want there to be more adventures from
this boisterous family!!
