The World According to Humphrey

124 pp. | Putnam | February, 2004 | Trade ISBN 0-399-24198-1 $$14.99
(4) 1-3 A hamster describes his experiences as a classroom pet. Humphrey (a sort of Pollyanna-in-a-cage) finds a girlfriend for the school custodian, cures a family of their TV addiction, and helps a girl overcome her shyness. Though some aspects of the plot are far-fetched, the book--like Humphrey--has a good heart.
