Waffles and Pancakes are two hamsters who were bought from the pet store on the very same day. But their owners, Danny and Griffin, don't treat them the same way. Pancakes has a lovely new home to play around in with wheels and tunnels. Waffles only has a small box. But when Waffles and Pancakes meet up again, they realize that there are more important things than material possessions.

'This book is definitely a must read not just for young children but for older kids and adults too.'
Fran Lewis

Excerpt:

“I only have a tiny house,” replied Waffles.

“The size of your house doesn’t matter as long as you have people who love you,” said Pancakes. “Does Danny play with you every day?”

“Why, of course he does,” replied Waffles.

“Well Griffin has lots and lots of toys so he kind of forgets about me. I am so lonely. I have this beautiful house but no one to play with me. You may have a small home, but someone loves you and plays with you every day.”

Excerpt:

While sitting in the lobby, Waffles and Pancakes were scared. They didn’t want to be at the doctor. No one likes the doctor, but everyone knows that they are good for you and can make you feel better. Could the vet help? How were they going to let the doctor know what was really wrong?
The problem had started a week earlier when the hamsters went for their check-ups. In the lobby, a guinea pig named Oscar started saying mean things to Waffles and Pancakes. Oscar told them they were ugly and fat.
