The perfect gift, this new edition in Betty G. Birney's bestselling series brings together her first three stories about Humphrey the classroom hamster. Discover the wisdom, wit and brilliance of the nation's best-loved furry friend as he tells you all about the World, Friendship and Trouble, all according to his Humphreyness! ** Dear Friends, Being a classroom hamster is an unsqueakably exciting job. I get to visit my classmates' houses on weekends and have lots of great adventures. I've helped my friends like Speak-Up Sayeh and Lower-Your-Voice-A.J. solve their problems and I've even helped our teacher, Mrs. Brisbane. I've also met another classroom pet (a frog named Og), taken an exciting ride on a train and helped a magician with his act! I've had so many adventures, I've put some of them into one great book of my very favourites. I hope you'll have as much FUN-FUN-FUN reading them as I did writing them! Your friend, Humphrey **
