Humphrey’s Playful Puppy Problem by Betty G. Birney is a book you will never want to put down. To start with, it is a humorous book. For example, when Poppy a dog kept bothering Humphrey, they even wound up playing fetch! Secondly, the author sometimes leaves a cliff hanger. In fact, when the book says “And I was the only someone who knew what to do,” but it doesn’t tell you who it is. Lastly, the setting is always changing. At first it’s in a classroom but then the next chapter it was at Richie’s house. As you can see, Humphrey’s Playful Puppy Problem is a book you will never want to put down.
