At 1 Hoping Road, the joyful curtain rises when the hamster family arrives. What to do? Only ten minutes left, yet so much remains undone! No worries--ten minutes can accomplish a lot! With the hamsters' company, the boy successfully brushes his teeth, changes into pajamas, reads a bedtime story, takes a bath, does his business, drinks milk... everything gets done at the last minute.
