Meet Norm — a hamster who knows his boundaries!

Okay, 1B.
We need to talk. The paper rolls you pushed into my house? Those are a win. I’ll shred them to make my place cozy.
But do you know what’s NOT cozy? Being picked up and smooshed in your arms. Not everyone’s a hugger, okay?
Boundaries, people. Boundaries!
Norm

After a bumpy introduction to his new home, Norm — a classroom hamster — is forced to take matters into his own paws. Unless he can convince the kids of Classroom 1B how he wants to be treated, he’ll be destined for a whole year of water fountain baths, interrupted naps, and (ugh!) hugs. A hamster has his limits, no matter how cute and cuddly he might look!
