Faber's bestselling hamster series is given a smart new livery,
repositioning our favourite as a classic character, sitting
alongside the likes of Winnie the Pooh and Wind in Willows. Jingle
bells and dancing snowflakes, Christmas was coming and suddenly
Humphrey's life as a classroom hamster became unsqueakably
exciting! The music teacher, Miss Lark, spent a lot of time
preparing the class for the school show so there was plenty of
FUN-FUN-FUN. But Humphrey's classmates were also having some
BIG-BIG-BIG problems.
Ahead of a big author visit, Humphrey and his friends try writing
their own stories, but Humphrey worries that hamsters don't have
any imagination; he's finding creative writing just too hard. While
he helps out his friends, and the new school guinea pig, Gigi,
Humphrey encounters real, live parrots, dragons and even ghosts . .
. and finally manages to let his imagination soar.
After Humphrey's fur-raising holiday, he was looking forward to
returning to Room 26. Mrs. Brisbane is still there, but Humphrey is
shocked to find that the classroom is filled with strangers, like
Rolling Rosie, Hurry-Up-Harry and Forgetful Phoebe. At first, all
Humphrey wants to do is find his old classmates but he soon learns
that these new students REALLY-REALLY-REALLY need a helping paw.
The third book in the bestselling series about a classroom hamster
- now with a great new look. Join Humphrey for his third adventure
- and this one is going to be packed with trouble! When all sorts
of problems crop up in the classroom, from Pay-Attention-Art's
marks going down, to Golden-Miranda finding herself in big trouble,
Humphrey must step in to lend a helping paw. Using his charm,
resourcefulness and wisdom, he's certain to have a plan. This third
instalment follows the brilliantly successful The World According
to Humphrey and Friendship According to Humphrey. 'Already a star
in America. . . children fall for him, and you can't beat him for
old-fashioned, feelgood life lessons.' Sunday Times
Faber's bestselling hamster series is given a smart new livery,
repositioning our favourite as a perennial classic character,
sitting alongside the likes of Winnie the Pooh and Wind in Willows.
Dear Friends, When Og the Frog came to live in Room 26, I felt a
little jealous. Still, I tried to be welcoming but I soon
discovered that it's HARD-HARD-HARD to make friends with a lumpy,
bumpy frog! Then I found out that my fellow students were having
problems with their friends, too. A.J. and Garth had to deal with a
bully named Mean Martin Bean. Heidi and Gail had a terrible
argument, and Miranda-Golden had a new stepsister who wasn't nice
at all. Then there was the Poetry Festival, the magic show and the
snowstorm! How could one small hamster solve all those problems?
Luckily, I wrote the whole story in my notebook so you could share
my adventures. Your friend to the end, Humphrey

sailing competition on Potter's Pond, he longs for a BIG-BIG-BIGGER

smooth sailing. He helps out his classmates, takes an unsqueakably
dangerous voyage of his own, and even comes face-to-face with a
pirate! Praise for Humphrey: 'An effective exploration of the joys
and pains of making and keeping friends, which will strike a chord
with many children.' Daily Telegraph 'A charming, feel-good tale.'

smart new livery, repositioning him alongside perennial favourites

whisker to whisker with a cat (EEK!) or having an alien from
another planet move into Room 26! All this and LOTS-LOTS-LOTS more
happens in Humphrey's new book of adventures, Surprises According
to Humphrey. Praise for Humphrey: 'An effective exploration of the

Dear friends, I LOVE-LOVE-LOVE being the classroom hamster in Room
26, Longfellow School. I've learned a lot about reading, writing,
maths and making friends . . . and I've had amazing adventures in
and out of my cage, too. But I also love solving puzzles and
riddles in the tiny notebook I keep hidden in my cage. They're not
always easy but if I wiggle my whiskers and scratch my furry head
for a while, I usually can solve them. To keep you busy on your
summer holidays, I'm sharing some of my favourites in this
fun-filled book so you can find out if you're as smart as a
hamster! (I'll bet you are.) Your puzzle-loving pal, Humphrey
When Humphrey learns that school is ending, he was unsqueakably
worried. What would he do once he lost his job as classroom pet? It
turns out that summer is wilder than Humphrey thought school could
ever be. He sees new sights, makes new friends, and has
FUN-FUN-FUN! But he also has to deal with new creatures, Og's
mysterious disappearance, and the scary-sounding Howler!
Humphrey loves to solve problems for his classmates in Room 26, but
he never meant to create one! Golden-Miranda, one of his favorite
students, gets blamed when Humphrey is caught outside of his cage
while sheas in charge. Since no one knows about his
lock-that-doesnat-lock, he canat exactly squeak up to defend her.
Humphrey really has his paws full when Donat-Complain- Mandy-Payne
and her family stir up more big trouble. Humphrey manages to help
Pay-Attention-Art and Sit-Still-Seth and even survives a trip to
the vet, but can he clear Mirandaas name without giving up his
freedom forever?
Dear Friends, I may be a small classroom hamster, but even I'm
amazed at how many unsqueakably exciting adventures I've had. I've
had a spooky mystery to solve on Halloween, nighttime escapades at
school and even gone to Winter Wonderland. I've had so many
HO-HO-HO hilarious adventures I've put some more of them into this
big book to share with you Your friend, Humphrey.
Everyone's favorite classroom pet is now starring in chapter books
Humphrey, the classroom hamster of Room 26, loves spending
weekends with his classmates. This week, he is going home with
Richie. Humphrey is going to help him with his science experiment
(hamsters LOVE-LOVE-LOVE to be helpful).
But Humphrey finds a surprise at Richie's house. Poppy the puppy
is bouncy and barky and is eager to play--a little "too "eager,
Humphrey thinks. Humphrey needs to get out of his cage to help
Richie, but can he do that and stay out of Poppy's way at the same
time?
With adorable illustrations and an easy reading level, Humphrey's
Tiny Tales are just right for emergent readers.
After the holidays, Humphrey is shocked by a big surprise in
Room 26-a new class pet Humphrey tries to be welcoming, but Og the
frog doesn't respond to any of his friendly squeaks or visits
(remember, he has a lock-that-doesn't-lock). Plus, the students are
so interested in Og, they almost stop paying attention to Humphrey
altogether. Humphrey doesn't like the mad-bad-sad feelings he's had
since Og came, but luckily he still gets to have adventures with
different kids on the weekends. Friendship can be tricky, but
Humphrey is an intrepid problem-solver. If any hamster can become
buddies with a frog, he can.
EEK-EEK-EEK Mrs. Brisbane is missing
Humphrey has always investigated things, like why Speak-Up-Sayeh
was so quiet and Tall-Paul and Small-Paul didn't get along, but
this is a true mystery--Mrs. Brisbane is missing She just didn't
show up in Room 26 one morning and no one told Humphrey why. The
class has a substitute teacher, called Mr. E., but he's no Mrs.
Brisbane. Humphrey has just learned about Sherlock Holmes, so he
vows to be just as SMART-SMART-SMART about collecting clues and
following leads to solve the mystery of Mrs. Brisbane (and a few
others along the way).
Nominated for twenty-four state awards and the winner of seven, the
Humphrey series is a hit across the country.
Humphrey, pet hamster at Longfellow School, learns that he has an important role to play in helping his classmates and teacher.
Nominated for twenty-four state lists and the winner of seven,
Humphrey really is everyone's favorite classroom pet
So many secrets are flying around Room 26 that Humphrey can barely
keep track. Mrs. Brisbane knows a student is leaving, but Humphrey
can't figure out which one. (Even more confusing, Mrs. Brisbane
seems unsqueakably "happy" about it.) The class is studying the
Ancient Egyptians, and some of the kids have made up secret clubs
and secret codes. Even Aldo is holding back news from Humphrey.
Humphrey's job as classroom pet is to help his humans solve their
problems, but all these secrets are making it HARD-HARD-HARD
The first book in the series about everyone's favorite classroom
pet
You can learn a lot about life by observing another species.
That's what Humphrey was told when he was first brought to Room 26.
And boy, is it true In addition to having FUN-FUN-FUN in class,
each weekend this amazing hamster gets to sleep over with a
different student, like Lower-Your-Voice-A.J. and Speak-Up-Sayeh.
Soon Humphrey learns to read, write, and even shoot rubber bands
(only in self-defense, of course). With lots of friends to help,
adventures to enjoy, and a cage with a lock-that-doesn't- lock,
Humphrey's life is almost perfect. If only the teacher, Mrs.
Brisbane, wasn't out to get him
Boys and girls can't help falling in love with Humphrey
