A full-color graphic novel, but at 64 pages, it is shorter and intended for a slightly younger audience (approximately ages 6-10). George Washington (the hamster, not the president) and his fellow classroom pets at Daisy P. Flugelhorn Elementary must escape their cages at night to protect the school from Harriet and her evil mouse minions. I had a LOT of fun making this book and its sequel, The Great Art Caper. They were inspired by my childhood visits with my mom to her classroom during the summer and weekends (she was an elementary art school teacher). I loved roaming the deserted hallways of the school, and thought it was a setting ripe for adventure!
