Humphrey the classroom hamster helps his Room 26 friends identify signs of spring and prepare for Family Fun Night in this twelfth installment about family, seasons, and taking pride in your work. Birney integrates diversity into a predictable story, as sympathetic characters exhibit a range of emotions, family backgrounds, and abilities; Humphrey and the other animals have their own likable voices and personalities.
