About This Book
"Surprises According to Humphrey" is a delightful chapter book that continues the adventures of Humphrey, the intelligent and observant classroom hamster. Told entirely from Humphrey's unique point of view, this book explores the everyday lives, friendships, and minor dilemmas of the students in Room 26. Humphrey often "helps" his human friends by offering his hamster wisdom and sometimes by getting into amusing predicaments. It's a heartwarming read perfect for early elementary children, fostering empathy, problem-solving, and a sense of belonging. Parents will appreciate its gentle humor and positive messages about kindness and understanding.
