The World According to Humphrey
Betty G. Birney
Humphrey the hamster loves being the classroom pet for Room 26. Not only has he learnt to read and write, he can shoot rubber bands at nosy dogs and is the star of the Halloween party. Each weekend, Humphrey gets to go home with a different pupil - and he soon discovers that his human friends are in desperate need of his help!
Humphrey really has his paws full, from sorting out a TV addict, a wimpy headmaster and a shy girl who wants to sing, to helping Aldo the caretaker find true love. But Humphrey has a HUGE problem of his own. The teacher, Mrs Brisbane, is out to get him ...
A charming, unsqueakably engaging hamster's-eye view of school, families and having fun.
p.s. Come and have some Fun with Humphrey !
