Synopses & Reviews
Everyone's favorite classroom pet is now starring in chapter books!
Humphrey has had lots of adventures as the classroom pet of Room 26, but never one like this. He is going on a campout in the backyard with Heidi and her friends! Theres stargazing, roasting marshmallows, searching for creepy-crawliesand then there are the prank-loving boys next door, who want to prove that the girls are scaredy-cats.
Humphrey doesnt think girls are scaredy-cats. He doesnt think girls are like cats at all. Can this VERY-VERY-VERY small hamster show them with a hairy-scary trick of his own?
With sweet illustrations and an easy reading level, Humphreys Tiny Tales are hamster-iffic for emerging readers.
