Hamster Holmes, A Mystery Comes Knocking: Ready-to-Read Level 2

My boys love that this book has Morse code in it- my reluctant reader asks to read this series over and over again.

A good alternative to superhero

fun for beginner reader

Great book for kids, illustrations are AMAZING!

Disappointing story quality.

This book is simply awesome to read with children! I can't wait to see what comes next! Graphics are great at well.

These books are great! My almost 3 year old loves them!

Hamster Holmes and his lightning bug sidekick, Dr. Watt, love to solve mysteries. When a friend reports that someone has been knocking on his door and then disappearing before he can answer, the detective buddies know they have their next case.The mystery aspect keeps readers involved and guessing, whether or not they've heard of the original Sherlock Holmes, and many parents and teachers will appreciate the fact that Hamster Holmes sucks on a water bottle instead of a pipe. The fact that Dr. Watt communicates in Morse code -- complete with a key in the book -- adds a fun, optional code-breaking element to the story. A stronger resolution probably would have bumped this one up from 'advisable' to 'essential.'

Story well constructed: nice story and very nice sketches. Easy to read and to follow. I like very much the book.
