Hamweenie is a cat…who is also a star, waiting to be born. In his mind, he’s a famous
magician-acrobat-entertainer who is destined for fame and the adulation of
children world-wide.
He imagines himself in the spotlight center-stage, under
the big top and with his name writ large across the sky as “The Amazing
Hamweenie”. But his dreams are hampered at every turn by his caregiver, a
little girl who loves him with baths and costumes (balanced with treats and
hugs). Convinced he is being alternately
drowned and poisoned, Hamweenie bides his time looking for every opportunity to
escape and find his destiny. But readers will find that his imagination is his
best vehicle for escape – because his real captivity is the best life ever. This
is a delightful title both for its droll humor and highly detailed artwork!
