About the book:
Narwhal and Jelly meets The Mouse and the Motorcycle in this action-packed, hilarious graphic novel series starter perfect for early and reluctant readers ages 5-9.
Can Ham the hamster and Shelby the ferret become the greatest racecar drivers—and the greatest friends—of all time?
Ham and Shelby meet in the pet shop and become fast friends. But who is the fastest? Who will become the greatest racer in the world?
Only one can be the best. So as they race again and again, with better and better cars, Ham is determined to cross the finish line first every time.
But when disaster strikes, Ham will have to learn that some things—like friendship—are even more important than winning.
Book two in the action-packed, hilarious graphic novel series that's Narwhal and Jelly meets The Mouse and the Motorcycle, perfect for early and reluctant readers ages 5-9.
Shelby and Ham are the world's best racing team—until Ham teams up with somebody else. Can Shelby go back to driving solo?
Shelby and Ham are the greatest team in pet shop racing history, well on their way to becoming the greatest racers in the world!
But when Ham's long-lost sister returns to the pet shop and Ham wants to race with her instead, Shelby is suddenly a third—er, fifth—wheel. Will the pet shop pals' friendship survive?
About the author:
In Pet Shop Racers, C.S. Jennings plunks his childhood’s pint-sized pets into the vintage racecars and monster trucks he’s always loved. Raised in west Texas, but now living in Austin, C.S.’s career spans children’s publishing (29 books and counting) and animation (two feature-length films and a series). He illustrated the Texas Library Association’s Bluebonnet 2020-2021 Master List book, From an Idea to Disney: How Imagination Built a World of Magic (Clarion). Humor, heart, and healing are his mission as an author and illustrator. He hopes you will find them in these pages.
