Love the Humphrey books September 23, 2008
I love this set of stories about Humphrey. She writes them so well you can picture Humphrey doing these things in your mind.
A must read for kids! August 15, 2008
I am a third grade teacher and once my school librarian handed me the first of the series,I was hooked. I then read it aloud to my class and we went Humphrey crazy (girls and boys)! We checked out Betty's website and entered a contest-we couldn't get enough! My students were ordering their own copies at home and reading them and borrowing them. I have read all of the books thus far in the series and each one is so creatively written it's just amazing. Beware that kids do want a class pet after reading it!!!
Excellent series April 15, 2008

These books are just wonderful. A must have for any child that has, or wishes for a hamster... or any animal lover for that matter. A teacher let my son borrow the first in this series and that was it. We have them all. They are so cleverly written and subtly expand on a variety of situations and emotions that kids experience each day. Thanks Betty G. Birney! We love your writing style.
