Surprises According to Humphrey

Humphrey the hamster has been watching, listening, and waiting — and he has some very important surprises planned.

Humphrey lives in Room 26, the best classroom in the world, where he spends his days helping his classmates with their problems in the only way a small golden hamster can: through careful observation, tremendous effort, and an occasional accidental escape. Betty G. Birney's beloved series continues with more of Humphrey's endearing, anxious determination to make things better for the humans he loves.

Humphrey books are really about the small, quiet ways we care for each other — the unseen efforts and unheard worries of a tiny creature with a very large heart, told with warmth and wit that never condescends.

A lovely read for children aged 6–9 — wonderful for animal lovers and for anyone who has ever suspected their classroom pet understands more than it lets on.
