But I loved this book when I first read it about ten years ago, and it is one of those that stays with you. Humphrey is a witty and genius hamster who is going to live in a classroom. The rambunctious children learn how to take care of Humphrey, and he in turn helps them with their own problems, especially when he spends each weekend at a different child's house, and eventually the teacher's as well. The characters are hilarious, and the story is touching. It is a sweet chapter book which will warm your heart and put a smile on your face. Good for established but still learning chapter-book readers. ( ) This was such a great book! Perfect for reading aloud to my six year old (one of our first real chapter book read). Humphrey is a great main character who leads us through classroom and different family situations with humor and a bit of adventure. We are looking forward to reading more Humphrey books! no reviews | add a review
