Opis

Nominated for twenty-four state lists and the winner of seven, Humphrey really is everyone's favorite classroom pet
So many secrets are flying around Room 26 that Humphrey can barely keep track. Mrs. Brisbane knows a student is leaving, but Humphrey can't figure out which one. (Even more confusing, Mrs. Brisbane seems unsqueakably happy about it.) The class is studying the Ancient Egyptians, and some of the kids have made up secret clubs and secret codes. Even Aldo is holding back news from Humphrey.
Humphrey's job as classroom pet is to help his humans solve their problems, but all these secrets are making it HARD-HARD-HARD

Recenzje

Humphrey, a delightful, irresistible character, is big hearted, observant, and creative. Booklist on The World According to Humphrey
 
Humphrey is a witty, fun, and lovable character with great kid appeal. School Library Journal on Surprises According to Humphrey
 
This thoughtful yet upbeat tale lends credence to the notion that actions and intentions can be misinterpreted while pointing out the benefits of looking at a situation from another s point of view. Readers will find that seeing the world from Humphrey s standpoint is mighty satisfying. Kirkus Reviews on Friendship According to Humphrey
 
Narrated in Humphrey s lively voice, the story is characteristically amusing and incorporates kid-relevant issues, such as being the last chosen for sports teams and the importance of respect, support, kindness, and appreciation. New and returning readers will enjoy the caring hamster s unique perspective on everything from friendship to fire drills. Booklist on Surprises According to Humphrey
 
Humphrey is just as lovable and sweet as he was in Friendship According to Humphrey. His escapades teach honesty, responsibility, and the consequences of actions. School Library Journal on Trouble According to Humphrey
