Dear friends,
I LOVE-LOVE-LOVE sharing my adventures as a classroom hamster with all my friends. But sometimes my paw gets tired from so much writing! To give it a rest, I've written some shorter tales that are every bit as funny and exciting as my According to Humphrey books. They're called Humphrey's Tiny Tales and they've even got illustrations! (I'm quite pleased at how cute I look in the pictures.)
I'm unsqueakably excited to share my new stories with you and I think Humphrey fans and new younger readers will be excited, too!
Your furry friend,
Humphrey
