Everyone's favorite classroom pet is now starring in chapter books!
Humphrey has had lots of adventures as the classroom pet of Room 26, but never one like this. He is going on a campout in the backyard with Heidi and her friends! There's stargazing, roasting marshmallows, searching for creepy-crawlies--and then there are the prank-loving boys next door, who want to prove that the girls are scaredy-cats.
Humphrey doesn't think girls are scaredy-cats. He doesn't think girls are like cats at all. Can this VERY-VERY-VERY small hamster show them with a hairy-scary trick of his own?
With sweet illustrations and an easy reading level, Humphrey's Tiny Tales are hamster-iffic for emerging readers.

K-Gr 3—You can't keep a good hamster down. Humphrey, the hamster who lives in Mrs. Brisbane's class and who first appeared in The World According to Humphrey (Putnam, 2004) pops up again in the latest installment of a spin-off series that's ideal for novice readers. Here, Humphrey heads home for the weekend with Heidi for a camp-out sleepover. Heidi and pals are psyched—until the boys show up and the night takes a turn for the scary. Small but mighty, Humphrey is an endearing and earnest narrator whose gentle but on-the-nose observations will resonate with budding readers.
