Humphrey is hilarious!By momoftwinzMy 11 year old son is a huge Humphrey fan and he could he not be? Humphrey is an adorable class pet who has all sorts of adventures and narrates what is going on in the classroom. He gets to go home with a different student every weekend, so Humphrey also relates what happens at those students homes. This series of books is heartwarming, funny and very entertaining. We have read many of them together and we have both enjoyed them. After the holidays, Humphrey is shocked by a big surprise in Room 26-a new class pet! Humphrey tries to be welcoming, but Og the frog doesn't respond to any of his friendly squeaks or visits (remember, he has a lock-that- doesn't-lock). Plus, the students are so interested in Og, they almost stop paying attention to Humphrey altogether. Humphrey doesn't like the mad-bad-sad feelings he's had since Og came, but luckily he still gets to have adventures with different kids on the weekends. Friendship can be tricky, but Humphrey is an intrepid problem-solver. If any hamster can become buddies with a frog, he can. From School Library JournalGrade 2-4 - The adorable and intelligent hamster introduced in The World According to Humphrey (Putnam, 2004) is dismayed to find that he shares his status as classroom pet with a frog. Try as he might, Humphrey cannot seem to make friends with Og, who just splashes him or says "BOING!" The little rodent, who can secretly write, learn, and get out of his cage, also uses his wits to effect positive outcomes of the various subplots, including a new girl who won't talk and has trouble making friends, two pals who get into a terrible fight, a bully who causes trouble on the bus, and the janitor who dreams of going back to college. The theme of friendship is as pervasive as the title implies, making this chapter book a charming read-aloud. Pair this tale with Frank Asch's Survival School (S S, 2003) for an appreciation of animals in the classroom. - Debbie Whitbeck, West Ottawa Public Schools, Holland, MI Copyright Reed Business Information, a division of Reed Elsevier Inc.
