(3) K-3 Illustrated by Marsha Winborn. Hamster Norman has a crush on his new classmate and wants to give her a valentine, but two classmate thugs also in love with Wilhemina are intent on being her only suitors. Satisfyingly, Wilhemina herself frightens the bullies with her karate moves and gives a valentine to Norman first. The hamster characters are appealingly childlike in the busy illustrations.
