Humphrey Hamster Books

"..... According to Humphrey" Betty G. Birney

I'm afraid that I have to admit I fallen for these books!

After hearing all the good reviews from on here, I picked up the book, School According to Humphrey at the Bradford 'Burgess' Show and read it that night. I fell in love with the little hamster so decided to see how much they'd cost for the Kindle.

Individually, they are £3 - £4 each, however....

Humphrey's Big-Big-Big Book of Stories (first three books in one) is £4.85

Humphrey's Great-Great-Great Book of Stories (next three books) is £4.39

Guess who now has more Humphrey books to read? :P

I found one of these books in a travel station when I was about 7 and read it the whole way home! I have quite a few of the books but they are quite small so don't take long to read.
The World According to Humphrey was probably my favourite

Aww love these - Pophammy has quite a few of these plus a load of other hamster fiction books. It's amazing how many there actually are!

I read loads of the animal ark ones and the Puppy Patrol books too. I think all the books I had used to be animal books but I gave them all to the charity shop a while ago.

I had loads of animal ark books!
Had a few puppy patrol too

All the animal ark ones are safely in a big box under my bed at my parents place, I'm refusing to get rid of them despite being a "grown up" now lol. I think the Puppy Patrol ones are there too, but can't be so sure about those.
Oh and by big box - I mean over 50% of the books in it are animal ark and the box is so big that if it wasn't cardboard it'd make a great hamster home lol

Hadn't heard of Houdini or Humphrey though.
