In fact, he’s put together this whole book of his favorite games, brain teasers, and jokes for everyone who thinks they can be as smart (or as funny) as a hamster! Come and have some FUN-FUN-FUN with everyone’s favorite classroom pet!

Nominated for twenty-four state awards and the winner of seven, the Humphrey series is a hit across the country. And he's becoming a one school/one book favorite!
