Dear friends,

I LOVE-LOVE-LOVE sharing my adventures as a classroom hamster with all my friends. But sometimes my paw gets tired from so much writing! To give it a rest, I''ve written some shorter tales that are every bit as funny and exciting as my According to Humphrey books. They''re called Humphrey''s Tiny Tales and they''ve even got illustrations! (I''m quite pleased at how cute I look in the pictures.) I''m unsqueakably excited to share my new stories with you and I think Humphrey fans and new younger readers will be excited, too!

Your furry friend,

Humphrey

My Pet Show Panic!

My friends in Room 26 hoped I''d win a prize at the Pet Show. I hoped so, too, but with dogs and cats, a parrot and a mysterious creature called Nick the Stick, I had a lot of competition. When Miranda''s scary dog, Clem, showed up, I was WORRIED-WORRIED-WORRIED. And with good reason, because once we got together, the panic at the Pet Show began!
