Puedes aprender mucho acerca de la vida observando a otras especies.
Eso es lo que primero le dicen a Humphrey cuando lo llevan al Aula 26. ¡Y vaya si es verdad! Además de sus escapadas en las clase, este increíble hámster va cada find de semana a dormir a la casa de un estudiante diferente. En poco tiempo, Humphrey aprende a leer ya a escribir, y a lanzar gomas elásticas, pero solo en defensa propia.. La vida de Humphrey sería absolutamente perfecta, si no fuese por esa maestra ¡que trata de deshacerse de el!
"Humphrey es simpático y de gran corazón. Ya la lectura de este libro es simplemente ¡buena-buena-buena!"—Kirkus Reviews

Faber's bestselling hamster series is given a smart new livery, repositioning our favourite as a perennial classic character, sitting alongside the likes of Winnie the Pooh and Wind in Willows.
Dear Friends,
When Og the Frog came to live in Room 26, I felt a little jealous. Still, I tried to be welcoming but I soon discovered that it's HARD-HARD-HARD to make friends with a lumpy, bumpy frog!
Then I found out that my fellow students were having problems with their friends, too. A.J. and Garth had to deal with a bully named Mean Martin Bean. Heidi and Gail had a terrible argument, and Miranda-Golden had a new stepsister who wasn't nice at all. Then there was the Poetry Festival, the magic show and the snowstorm! How could one small hamster solve all those problems?
Luckily, I wrote the whole story in my notebook so you could share my adventures.
Your friend to the end,
Humphrey
