Susan Meredith grew up in Yorkshire, and when she wasn't playing out or dancing, she was busy reading or making little books of her own, mainly about ballet. She's now written more than 20 real books for Usborne, on subjects ranging from saving the planet to playing football, from world religions to the human body. Her book Growing Up won the Times Educational Supplement's senior information book of the year award but her own personal favourite has to be Hamsters.
Very quick overview of information in little detail. The only reason I gave it 3 stars was that I liked the pictures and the illustrations used throughout, but without them, I would give this book 2 stars. If you just want to learn something about hamsters, but you don't really want to own one, then this book would be a good one for you.
