The World According to Humphrey

You can learn a lot about life by observing another species. That’s what Humphrey the hamster was told when he was bought as a classroom pet for Room 26. And it’s true! As well as his classroom escapades, each weekend he gets to sleep over with a different student, like Stop-Giggling-Gail and Repeat-That-Please-Richie. With adventures galore, Humphrey’s life would be perfect… if only the teacher, Mrs Brisbane, wasn’t out to get him! This hilarious look at the world from a hamster’s perspective is deliciously charming and completely true to life. Wise, original and very funny, it’s human life seen from a hamster’s point of view!

I have listened to this book on CD. Greg Proops read the book and it made me laugh. I like how he voices Humphrey and the other characters in the book.

This book was absolutely adorable! It is from Humphrey’s point of view and he has little hilarious side comments.

I loved this book! My Gran bought it for me and once I began to read it I couldn’t stop! It was so hilarious and Humphrey is so wise and very funny. I recommend this for younger readers or a short funny red for older readers!

Love it love it love it love it love it. This book is perfect for children because it set in a classroom and it teaches the children in that school responsibility who couldn’t love Humphrey.
