    About this audiobook

    Humphrey's eleventh adventure celebrates stories, writing, and the power of the imagination! 

    Imaginations are running wild in Mrs. Brisbane's class, but Humphrey is stumped. His friends are writing about where they would go if they could fly, but Humphrey is HAPPY-HAPPY-HAPPY right where he is in Room 26.

    It's pawsitively easy for Humphrey to picture exciting adventures with dragons and knights in the story Mrs. Brisbane is reading aloud. He has no trouble coming up with plans to help his friends and tricks to entertain them. His imagination even goes a little too far when he wonders if Carlos's imaginary friend might be a ghost.

    If only his imagination wouldn't disappear when he tries to write. Luckily, Humphrey likes a challenge, and Mrs. Brisbane has lots of writing tips that do the trick.

      This book was really funny. One reason why I enjoyed this book was the text. The author, or rather, Humphrey refers to each student in the class the way that the teacher calls out to the student. For example, Kirk was called "I-Heard-That-Kirk-Chen" in the book because that is what Humphrey was used to hearing. A.J. was called "Lower-Your-Voice-A.J." and Mandy was called "Don't-Complain-Mandy". These little nicknames give the book so much character. It's so funny!Another reason I enjoyed this book was the character development. Several characters in the book experience growth. Humphrey learns how to be a good friend to his new neighbor, Og the Frog. Aldo, the janitor, learns how to believe in himself when he decides to go back to school to become a teacher. Tabitha, the new girl, learns how to open up and make new friends. She also learns that it is ok to leave your 'security blanket' at home. Mean Marty Bean learns that you catch more flies with sugar than vinegar. Each of these little life lessons is so important to daily life, and it's amazing how they all were fit into this little book!The main idea of this book is that friendships come in different shapes and sizes, and even though they can be confusing and difficult, they are always worth it in the end.

      Everyone's having friendship issues, but Humphrey comes to the rescue! Humphrey uses his cuteness (ok, and his brain) to help everyone solve their problems. Meanwhile, Humphrey's having his own friendship issues with his new roommate. But as in many friendship issues, communication is key!
    • 4/5
      This is a funny little novel about a class pet, a hamster, named Humphrey. Humphrey is a sharp little mammal who not only follows along with the students' lessons, but also keeps up on class friendships and feuds. Humphrey has to accept a new friend as well, there is a new class pet. But when Og the toad turns out to be a silent neighbor, Humphrey finds himself struggling to be friendly, even feeling resentful towards Og. A good book about making new friends and being kind to old ones, this book is sure to get kids thinking and possibly wanting a Humphrey of their own!
    • 5/5
      Hamsters turn out to be very smart and helpful classroom pets. In this novel, the class pet, Humphrey observes Room 26 from his cage, and observes all of the friendships and realationships in the classroom and the travels his classmates take him on. Humphrey himself also faces a friendship challenge after a new classroom pet, Og, shares Room 26's attention. Humphrey tries his hardest to mend all realtionships between the classmates, and he succeeds but the whole time, doesn't realize the realtionship he has with the new class pet, Og. This book would be a good novel to read over a span where the classroom is about to welcome a new pet or a new pupil. It teaches friendship and care for the classroom pet.
