Adventures According to Humphrey is a book by Betty G. Birney. Humphrey ( the hamster) is the main character. Humphrey is a kind, nice, curious (and lots of other things)hamster. Humphrey see’s to the library, classroom, Potters Pond and the bus and i think a few other places.
Humphrey does have problems. Like his human friends are bringing boats they did not make and that is against the rules. Humphrey does not have so many problems that include him it is just that his friends are in trouble and it is sometimes because of him so he wants to help and change that mistake he made. The class goes to potters pond for a trip and they do a race and eat. Humphrey squeaks, “ Thats against the law”. Richie, a student, says , “ I’ll hide it in my backpack. While the race is on, I’ll sneak to the sidelines, slip the submarine in the water, then bring it up fight next to his tall horrible boat”.
This book is one of my favorites like when they go to Potters Pond it is really funny. There are lots of good moments and to me i just keep on wanting to read and i am so sad when i have to stop reading! This book is great for 3rd, 4th and 5th grade. I think everyone would love it and is is that sort of book that makes you love reading. I would rate this book 5 stars out of 5. It is really the best of all.
What do you mean by, “It really is the best of all.” Is it the best of the series or the best book that you’ve read? I really like your book review and I really like your other book reviews also. I think this series that you are reading sounds really interesting. I like that it is a class pet hamster that can go to lots of places and is not just a normal class pet hamster. I sounds like a great book and I might want to start this series too.

You know you’ve found a good book when you can say, “I am so sad when I have to stop reading.”
I liked it that you included facts about Humphrey! Great book review, but I would love to see more evidence from the story to prove your thinking. Based on your review I am interested to read the book. Great work I can tell you really liked this book!
