Hi Brian! This is spooky, but I’ve actually been working on an early reader called Mythical Milo, about a hamster that falls down the wrong tube and ends up in Ancient Greece 😅. I’ve been putting it forward to pitch but would love to talk about it more if it’s similar to what you’re looking for?
A character sheet of a hamster called Milo in various poses. Illustrated by Grace Sandford A cover for a young reader book created by Grace Sandford called Mythical Milo. It illustrates a hamster falling down a tube onto Ancient Greece whilst holding a sword and shield. A spread from Mythical Milo by Grace Sandford. It involves a small hamster facing a hydra, but is surprised to see a small axolotl face him as a contender! A spread from Mythical Milo by Grace Sandford. It features a hamster called Milo hiding from Meowdusa a Medusa cat that has mice for hair, and it looking for her next victim!
