The Great Art Caper

Reach for this book when your child is starting to navigate the complexities of school friendships or needs a boost in seeing the value of teamwork. This charming graphic novel follows GW, a class hamster who lives a secret, vibrant life after school hours with his animal friends. While it captures the fun of a middle-grade mystery, the core of the story explores how different personalities can collaborate to solve a problem. Designed for the 6 to 9 age range, the format is perfect for emerging readers who may find traditional chapter books intimidating. It reinforces the idea that even the smallest creatures (or kids) can have a big impact through creativity and loyalty. Parents will appreciate the positive social modeling, as the characters move past their initial skepticism to build a genuine community within their classroom environment.
