For Hamtaro Fans Who to Know More

For those who are fans of Hamtaro, you won't want to miss this book. This has information about all the major ham-hams --- pictures, age, gender, owner(s), star sign, hobbies and more. It also has human info and family trees. You'll also get an episode guide with varying detail, song notes and lyrics for the original opening theme (but not the new second season theme) and dance steps and lyrics for the closing theme. You'll even get to see what Penelope looks like without her yellow blanket on. A nice bonus in this guide is an original story with the ham-hams sporting a 3D look called "Bijou's Lost Bracelet." There's also several short stories from Ritsuko Kawai (Hamtaro creator) about a group of ham-hams called the Helfpul Hamsters who are a lot like the characters from Hamtaro. Unfortunately, it seems like Hamtaro has largely gone into hibernation lately. I hope that someday, though, they'll be able to release another book. With two seasons and a 104 episodes (and some specials) aired in the U.S. and Canada, there's a lot more episode and character info they still could cover, even if there never are anymore new episodes of the show.

Great Hamtaro Book!

I REALLY like this book. It has to be still one of my favorite books. I got alot of hamtaro books and this has to be the best book of Hamtaro I own. The only thing is that I wish they could of included information about the Japanese verison but still a great buy! And I just love all those colorful pictures!

A Must Have For Fans

I am a huge Hamtaro fan. I surf over the web and have lot's of information about the show. So I decided that I should try to start collecting the books a little while ago. One of my first ones was this book, but I didn't expect to learn more about the show with it. It surprised me a little bit. I found out a few more things with the book and learned alittle bit more about the Ham-Hams. I also really enjoyed the little comics in the back. It doesn't have much new things in it like Season 2 of the show or the guest Ham-Hams (Like Hannah in Season 2 in that one episode), but I enjoyed very much. It is a must have for Hamtaro fans.

A Must For Parents Of A Hamtaro Fan

I bought this book for my son who happens to be a Hamtaro freak! Little did I know how much I would get out of it, myself. This book tells you anything and everything you need to know about the show and it's characters. Now my son talks about Hamtaro and I actually know what he's talking about!! He loves it as well....In fact, it's been read so much that it's started to show wear and tear.

Really Good!

This is am excellent book/guide. It has all you need to know about the ham hams, and even tells you how to do the hamtaro dance!It also has a comic, photo's from the show, stickers and the a synopsis to the show's episodes! I highly recommend this book to all hamtaro fans.
