The Performing Hamsters are a quartet of hamsters that appear in Reader Rabbit's Learn to Read, in which they help Reader Rabbit and Mat the Mouse find all the letters to fill out a secret message left by the Wish Machine and undo Mat's wish, which made all words in Wordville disappear. Each hamster has a unique appearance and personality. They all sing The World's Greatest Show which reveals how they got together.
