This entire Humphrey series is a joy to read to my son. My son is 10 years old and blind and loves to have me read to him. He doesn't like scary books, books with mean characters or complicated plots. These books are always fun for both of us to read together and teach important lessons about friendships, patience, families and much more.
Not QUITE as adorable as "The World According to Humphrey," but still FRESH-FRESH-FRESH and original. The theme in this book is mostly squeaking up ... ahem ... speaking up for your friends and admitting when you do something wrong.Nice job when the adults apologize for overreacting about things -- Mrs. Brisbane and Mrs. Payne both apologize.Recommend!Parent note: no bad language; unemployed dad & some depression.
Wonderful, touching story! My fourth grade class LOVES these books, and so do I. The story is a great blend of humor, heart-warming, and real life learning as little Humphrey, the class pet, shows understanding and helps his "friends" in the classroom. Wonderful!
My daughter and I have read all the Humphrey books and are looking forward to reading the new one. The books are sweet, clever and perfect to read together. Be warned, though, you'll probably be asked to get a hamster...they seem pretty hard to resist after reading a few Humphrey books!
I read this book to my fourth grade class and they were hooked. We all looked forward to reading about Humphrey and his adventures with his class. Highly recommend this book for kids around the age of 8, 9, 10. We will be reading more Humphrey books this year.
I would recommend this to any parent who is encouraging their child to read. My son loves reading and when the character is amusing as Humphrey, it makes reading all the more fun and enjoyable for all. We read every night for at least 35-45 minutes.
The Best book I've ever read! I've been reading the series from World According to Humphrey to Mysteries According to Humphrey. But I thought Trouble According to Humphrey was the best. The point of this book is squeaking up for your friends...excuse me speaking up for your friends and not blaming stuff on people ( also hamsters like Humphrey) I would recommend this book to 6 to 8 year olds.
I teach multi-age Kindergarten - First Grade and we have a pet hamster named "Mr. Stuffers." During snack time we read the Humphrey series and love each and everyone of them! The children love how the stories are told in the hamster's voice. I plan on having them draw and color pictures during our next read to have a visual of how their imaginations are soaring.
