The World According to Humphrey
Betty G. Birney
'The time had arrived to put my Plan into action. I was in grave danger and I had no choice. I only had one weapon: a rubber band. It had taken me a long time to get it hooked around the edge of my food dish. Now I carefully pulled it back as far as I could, aiming directly at those big doggy nostrils.' You can learn a lot about life by observing another species. That's what Humphrey was told when he was bought as a classroom pet for Room 26. And it's definitely true! In addition to his classroom escapades, each weekend he gets to sleep over with a different student like Stop-Giggling-Gail and Repeat-That-Please-Richie. Humphrey learns to read, write, shoot rubber bands and much more. With adventures galore, Humphrey's life would be absolutely perfect if only the teacher, Mrs Brisbane, wasn't out to get him ...

i liked humphrey the best because he is very funny

It was funny that Humphrey didn’t like his teacher at first but after he helped he was loved by his teacher. I liked the main charecter as he was one smart,strong hamster. I would reccomend it as a bedtime story.

Raise your hand sayah , repeat that please Richie , Aldo, Mrs Brisbane, Ms macnamara (ms Mac) and we can't forget Humphrey the main character. All of these characters have made this book shine but Humphrey is my favourite character of them all. This is a book about a brave and heroic hamster who goes on a lot of adventures whilst being a classroom pet. He goes to a different house every weekend and he is definitely my favourite character. 5 stars!!!

My favourite part was when he got out of his cage. I would be interested in reading the other books in the Humphrey series.
