Ned and the Great Garden Hamster Race by Kim Hillyard

Ned the hamster is super excited to be taking part in the Great Garden Hamster Race. He and an assortment of fellow hamsters are ready, set and go! Ned is determined to win and sets off at a fast pace. However, such is his determination to finish first that he ignores the pleas for help from the garden-dwellers he passes along the way. When Ned finds himself in a spot of bother too he suddenly realises the error of his ways. This visually funny storybook teaches children the importance of kindness in a light-hearted format.
