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
My Great Big Birthday Bash!
It's party time in this Tiny Tale. Kirk's having a birthday bash, and everyone in Room 26 is invited, including Humphrey. The party is FUN-FUN-FUN! There are games to play and presents to unwrap, and of course cake! But Humphrey is SAD-SAD-SAD. No one knows when he was born, so he can never have a party on his birthday. Or can he? Luckily his friends in Room 26 have other ideas . . .
Illustrated throughout with black and white line illustrations by Penny Dann.
