TITLE: Hamster Huey and the Gooey Kablooie AUTHOR: Mabel Syrup ORIGIN: Calvin and Hobbes (comic strip; July 10, 1988; created by Bill Watterson)
The charming childhood story of Hamster Huey and the Gooey Kablooie, which tells the memorable story of... a hamster named Huey and a kablooie that is gooey, is beloved by children and known by parents the world over. The book is perfect for reading at bedtime, as long as the reader remembers to do all the squeaky voices, gooshy sound effects, and of course the Happy Hamster Hop, and refrains from making Hamster Huey speak very sarcastically, do everything very fast, or get decapitated. Your child will surely love this book just as much the thousandth time they hear it as they did the first, and will demand to hear it a thousand and first time, regardless of whether or not you want to read it over and over and over and over.
If you enjoyed Hamster Huey and the Gooey Kablooie, be on the lookout for Mabel Syrup's upcoming sequel, Commander Coriander Salamander and 'er Singlehander Bellylander! And if you didn't enjoy Hamster Huey... you may also want to be on the lookout for it, just in case. [Donated by Calvin's dad, who says "Just keep it, please. I'll tell him his tiger ate it or something."]
