Reviews"A likable hamster narrates this novel for newly independent readers....Birney succeeds in developing the animal's character without the narrative becoming too cute or contrived. Humphrey's views underscore the importance of knowing the full story before making judgments, and his presence makes a positive difference in the lives of the people he meets. All in all, a winning book that will appeal to children who like tales about animals, school life, and friendship." --School Library Journal "The story deftly avoids triteness while still feeling breezy and acknowledging deeply felt troubles, such as Mrs. Brisbane's husband's depression. The pet-care tips punctuating each chapter would benefit any youngster thinking about getting a hamster, but for everyone else, this read is simply good-good-good." --Kirkus Reviews Look for all of the books in the series!

That's what Humphrey was told when he was first brought to Room 26. And boy, is it true!

With lots of friends to help, adventures to enjoy, and a cage with a lock-that-doesn't- lock, Humphrey's life is almost perfect. If only the teacher, Mrs. Brisbane, wasn't out to get him!

Great for a six year old
My son is in Kindergarten and this book is being used in a school wide reading initiative. The writing is clever enough to keep me engaged as a parent. I read my son a chapter each night before bed, and he loves it. He relates a lot of the book to his own school. Definitely worth a read.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
