Humphrey is an interesting, but long book. It starts out when Humphrey is living at the Pet-O-Rama, but then gets bought by Ms. Mac, a teacher. Find out what happens when Humphrey becomes her class pet.
I liked this book for many reasons. First, Humphrey acts so cute, especially when he runs on his spinning wheel. I also give this book five stars because it made me happy when Ms. Mac buys Humphrey. Also, my favorite part is when Humphrey learns to shoot a rubber band. It was interesting that a hamster could learn to shoot a rubber band with such tiny paws. As you can see, this book is worth reading.
Kids who like hamsters will like this book because a hamster is the main character. Kids in 2nd - 5th grade might like it because it is a chapter book. I recommend this book because I was never bored reading it. It also kept my attention the whole time I read it.
