Book Description

Publication Date: 20 Jan 2011

Dear Friends,

After a fur-raising holiday at Camp Happy Hollow, I looked forward to returning to Room 26 to see all my old friends.

Mrs. Brisbane was still there, but I was shocked to find the classroom full of strangers, like Rolling Rosie, Hurry-Up-Harry and Forgetful Phoebe. At first, all I wanted to do was find my old classmates. But I soon learned that these new students REALLY-REALLY-REALLY needed a helping paw from me.

In the end, I learned that even if you're a small hamster, you can never have too many friends!

Your furry friend,

Humphrey

5.0 out of 5 stars children reading 14 Feb 2012
By contented parent
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
its hard to find a book for children to read that hasnt got worring things buried with in the pages! but when you do find a Series of books designed for children to read on their own or with others, these books have a main character that most children (and a lot of adults) warm to and feel safe with. But this is not just a fluffy lovable character; this little Guy knows what its like to grow up with all its trials and tribulations. And it seems he has a sense of humour and a moral hidden in every story.

A great series of books for children from say 6 to 11 years.

And adults say from 6 to 75 years (there is a saying " look into an old mans face and you will see the twinkling eyes of a child " ;-)

5.0 out of 5 stars Another Great Humphrey Book! 15 Feb 2011
By E. Gillum
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
My son has collected all the "Humphrey Books" and we all love them. They are a good read, telling interesting stories, from the point-of-view of Humphrey, the Classroom Hamster. The stories cover day-to-day school life, but also other issues that children may have to deal with in their lives, such as illness, disability and accidents, friendships and family relationships - including step-parents/ step-siblings, friends from other cultures (or species!) - shyness and bullying, belonging and fitting in, courage and truthfulness etc. However, the books are written so well that these things just occur as a natural part of the story.
The new book is about how Humphrey - and the Class - cope with the start of a new school year and the changes this brings. It moves along at a good pace and there are plenty of amusing and fun incidents to keep the reader keen. I may be a "grown up", but I love the Humphrey books - and my son brought his book to me and recommended it, once he had finished reading it (at an amazing pace!).
Definitely one to buy - and I would recommend the whole set. A good way to encourage a reluctant reader - and suitable for both boys and girls.
