Raves from my son

My nearly 9 yr. old son raves about the book, it's cute twists and interesting hamster cam perspective. Recommended.

very funny

I read this book to my fourth grade class and they were hooked. We all looked forward to reading about Humphrey and his adventures with his class. Highly recommend this book for kids around the age of 8, 9, 10. We will be reading more Humphrey books this year.

Another Humphrey book

The 9-year-old who received this book as a gift said, "Another Humphrey book!" and went off to read it immediately. If you like hamsters, the Humphrey books are a must.

Trouble According to Humphrey

Wonderful, touching story! My fourth grade class LOVES these books, and so do I. The story is a great blend of humor, heart-warming, and real life learning as little Humphrey, the class pet, shows understanding and helps his "friends" in the classroom. Wonderful!

Wonderful Read-aloud for a variety of ages

My kids and I love all the Humphrey books. My daughter is 7 and my son is 10 and we looked forward to the stories every night. They are well- written, a pleasure to read aloud, and the kids can relate to the story because it is set in a school.
