About
Praise

It’s the HAPPY-HAPPY-HAPPY holidays for everyone's favorite classroom pet!

The holidays are coming and Humphrey is unsqueakably excited. He loves to hear about all the different ways his friends in Room 26 celebrate and to watch them make costumes and learn songs for the Winter Wonderland pageant. (He even squeaks along!)

But with so much to do, will the holidays go according to plan? Do-It-Now-Daniel is having trouble practicing, Helpful-Holly can’t stop worrying about making presents for her friends, and Humphrey still has to find a gift for Og! Good thing Humphrey is one smart hamster who can help them all fill the season with JOY-JOY-JOY!

Nominated for twenty-four state awards and the winner of seven, the Humphrey series is a hit across the country. And he's a One School, One Book favorite!

“Humphrey is a witty, fun, and lovable character with great kid appeal.”—School Library Journal

Humphrey is on 24 state lists and counting!
