Guinea Pig, Pet Shop Private Eye

review 1: The book, Hamster and Cheese, by Colleen AF Venable is a cute mystery. The Pet-shop owner, Mr. Venezi, has discovered that his sandwich disappeared during lunchtime and he blames his koalas, which are actually hamsters, but Mr. Venezi isn't exactly good at the identifying the pets that he is selling in his shop. So Mr. Venezi decides that if his sandwich disappears one more time then that's it for the "koalas". So when Hamisher the hamster sees that there's a resident Guinea Pig in the shop he decides to hire the guinea pig, Sasspants, to solve the crime. Sasspants would like nothing better than to be left alone, but that's not going to happen as long as Hamisher's around nagging her. They decide to strike up a deal. Sasspants will solve the mystery if Hamisher will then ... moreleave her alone. Then they solve the mystery and everything is great. I would recommend this book to anyone who likes a little animal mystery. The illustration are also done very well and with a lot of color that make them pop.
review 2: I read this book with a student who is very dyslexic. While not all dyslexics have trouble with lots of small details, this student is overwhelmed by too much visual information. This book was not a good choice. Frequently I wondered if the student was following the story line or jokes. For example, the store owner calls snakes, llamas. In discussing this with the student, he said: I thought the snake's name was Llama. I thought that was a reasonable response. But I still am not sure if he understood everything that was happening in the story. He was able to explain certain key pieces of the book. So maybe he understood more than I sensed that he did. less
