Betty G. Birney

El Mundo De Acuerdo a Humphrey Betty G. Birney Dgs edition

The story of everyone?s favorite classroom pet is now available in Spanish!

You can learn a lot about life by observing another species. That?s what Humphrey was told when he was first brought to Room 26. And boy, is it true! In addition to his classroom escapades, each weekend this amazing hamster gets to sleep over with a different student, like Lower-Your-Voice-A. J. and Speak-Up-Sayeh. Soon Humphrey learns to read, write, and even shoot rubber bands (only in self-defense, of course). Humphrey has friends, adventures, and a cage with a lock-thatdoesn?t- lock. His life would be perfect, if only the teacher, Mrs. Brisbane, wasn?t out to get him!

"Humphrey's views underscore the importance of knowing the full story before making judgments, and his presence makes a positive difference in the lives of the people he meets. All in all, a winning book that will appeal to children who like tales about animals, school life, and friendship."—School Library Journal
