observant, and creative.” —Booklist on The World According to
Humphrey
“Humphrey is a witty, fun, and lovable character with great kid
appeal.” —School Library Journal on Surprises According to
Humphrey
“This thoughtful yet upbeat tale lends credence to the notion that
actions and intentions can be misinterpreted while pointing out the
benefits of looking at a situation from another’s point of view.
Readers will find that seeing the world from Humphrey’s standpoint
is mighty satisfying.” —Kirkus Reviews on Friendship According to
Humphrey
“Narrated in Humphrey’s lively voice, the story is
characteristically amusing and incorporates kid-relevant issues,
such as being the last chosen for sports teams and the importance
of respect, support, kindness, and appreciation. New and returning
readers will enjoy the caring hamster’s unique perspective on
everything from friendship to fire drills.” —Booklist on Surprises
According to Humphrey

According to Humphrey. His escapades teach honesty, responsibility,
and the consequences of actions.” —School Library Journal on
