Readers will find that seeing the world from Humphrey's standpoint is mighty satisfying." --<i>Kirkus Reviews </i>on<i> Friendship According to Humphrey</i> <p/> "Narrated in Humphrey's lively voice, the story is characteristically amusing and incorporates kid-relevant issues, such as being the last chosen for sports teams and the importance of respect, support, kindness, and appreciation. New and returning readers will enjoy the caring hamster's unique perspective on everything from friendship to fire drills." --<i>Booklist </i>on <i>Surprises According to Humphrey</i> <p/> "Humphrey is just as lovable and sweet as he was in <i>Friendship According to Humphrey</i>. His escapades teach honesty, responsibility, and the consequences of actions." --<i>School Library Journal </i>on <i>Trouble According to Humphrey</i> <p/><b><br>Look for all of the books in the series!<br></b><i>The World According to Humphrey</i><br><i>Friendship According to Humphrey</i><br><i>Trouble According to Humphrey</i><br><i>Surprises According to Humphrey</i><br><i>Adventure According to Humphrey</i><br><i>Summer According to Humphrey</i><br><i>School Days According to Humphrey</i><br><i>Mysteries According to Humphrey</i><br><i>Winter According to Humphrey</i><br><i>Secrets According to Humphrey</i><br><i>Imagination According to Humphrey</i><br><i>Spring According to Humphrey</i><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Betty G.
