Finally finished reading this to my son at bedtime (it got misplaced part way through which is why it's taken so long!). We were recommended this in Waterstones as a great story for 5+ children.

I have enjoyed reading the adventures of the class hamster to my son. Humphrey seems to be able to solve the problems of everyone he comes into contact with! He also learns to read and write as well as picking up various bits of general knowledge.

Each chapter has a tip at the end on hamster care. A cute story which we enjoyed but not to race about.
