At One Hoppin' Place, the countdown to bedtime is about to begin when a family of hamsters arrives at the front door."All aboard!" the child's pet hamster, dressed as a tour guide, shouts, directing them to his bus. It's off to the kitchen for a snack, to the bathroom for toothbrushing, to the bedroom for a story. And just as the child begins to read, the tour guide looks out the window and shouts, "More coming!" Busloads and carloads of vacationing hamsters stream through the front door, ready to enjoy the escapades as the countdown continues.
A sure-fire toddler pleaser from the creator of Good Night, Gorilla.
