Einstein The Class Hamster #1 by Janet Tashjian illustrated by Jake Tashjian

A mother and son team have created this series.  The story/series is based on a comic strip Jake T. created while in 6th grade.
Einstein, the class hamster, loves facts and trivia.  He longs to teach the class but no one can hear him except Ned.  Through a series of events, Einstein indirectly teaches the class and Ned gains a few friends in the process.
Funny.  I like the theme of friendship and what it means to be a friend.
Fun, interesting facts throughout the book. The facts are what my seven year old liked best.
Good pick for reluctant readers who are working on stamina.
I do not like how the principal and teacher were portrayed-goof-balls and incompetent.
Book #2 will be available in Sept. 2014.
