Rigatoni doesn’t get any pasta to eat at all, just yucky cat food. Can Rigatoni find someone who will serve him a little bowl of spaghetti?

Hampstead the Hamster

Christmas is coming, and what Leo wants more than anything in the world is a pet hamster. And guess what? He gets one on Christmas morning! Leo names his new pet Hampstead, after an autocorrect mistake on his wish list. Everything is great, that is, until Leo realises that Hampstead is down in the dumps. What can Leo do to cheer Hampstead up?
