The Adventures of Hamtaro Meet the one and only original Hamtaro—the inspiration for the hit animation series—exactly as his creator, Ritsuko Kawai, first imagined him. This charming series of richly illustrated, classic children's tales follows our intrepid hero, hamster Hamtaro, as his adventures take him from pet shop to home to Ham-Ham Clubhouse to the great outdoors and beyond.... Volume 2: Hamtaro Gets Lost & Other Stories In this volume, Hamtaro continues his adventures in his new home with Yukari. Hamtaro makes a friend, has a tummy-ache, gets into trouble for unauthorized gnawing, celebrates Christmas in his own unique way, and even falls in love! But that's not all.... When Hamtaro can't resist frolicking in a bag of colorful wrapping paper, he ends up accidentally getting put out with the garbage! Will Yukari find her furry little friend? Or will they never see each other again!? Plus, more stories, hamster trivia, puzzle, arts and crafts, and a fold-out Ham-Ham Clubhouse!
