This a wonderful gerbil story told from a gerbil's point of view. It is a good story for the young at heart to read also. Plus I love the cover showing the siamese gerbil. Get this book and read it. You will not be disappointed.

I love the name of the gerbil Obi named after the Star Wars favorite.

I really hope the author comes out with another Obi story.

To continue her adventures, Obi has her own blog:

Pros: A wonderful story from a little gerbils point of view

Cons: none

The book is enjoyable and the artwork is very creative. Animal books are nice to read to children and helps the children learn at a young age that these animals have a heart and body that needs to taken care of and protected from pretators. They make a nice little pet also.

So much fun to read to my grand niece. She is so intrigued and full of wonder. The students who have a gerbil are allowed to bring it in.

Pros: Students will take turns reading the book.

Cons: Students will want a gerbil in the classroom.
