School Days according to Humphrey by Betty G. Birney- ESSENTIAL

Birney, Betty G. School Days according to Humphrey, 160 pgs.  Putnam Juvenile, 2011.  $14.99.  This book is about a hamster who is excited to come back to school.  Over the summer he went to camp.  When he returned from camp, there were strange students filling up the room.  He didn’t know where his old friends were.  Will he ever find them?  I liked this book because Humphrey nicknamed the characters like “Hurry Up Harry” and “Helpful Holly”.  I liked the fact that Humphrey was smarter than all the kids.  This book was really funny.  I read it fast because I liked the story.  EL (K-3). ESSENTIAL.  Student Reviewer:  JL- age 9.
