OK, this book is about a hamster–BIG mistake on the author’s part!  Of course a guinea pig would have been more exciting, but what can you do-HUMANS!

Anyway, species aside, this book is a lot of fun!  Kids, have you ever wondered what your classroom pet does over the summer (if these children’s room walls could talk!) ? Join everybody’s favorite hamster (UGH!), Humphrey, (what a great name!!), as he takes a trip to overnight camp and makes some new friends.  And don’t forget to check out the other books in this fun series.
