Hamster

Mr. Bailey shouldn't have all the fun! This lively pet hamster will keep you company throughout the day. Watch him run on his wheel, drink water, and eat the food you feed him by clicking your mouse. Click the center of the wheel to make him get back on it.

I've been using Google Earth with my computer classes and we are having lots of fun with it!
