Room 26 is going to the dogs!

Humphrey knows friends can come in all shapes, sizes, and species, but some big animals--like dogs--can make him NERVOUS-NERVOUS-NERVOUS (remember Clem?!). But then a very gentle dog comes to Longfellow School to help his classmates with reading and he meets another one who can do amazing tricks. There is also a mystery afoot about a lost dog.

Humphrey is hamster-iffic at finding clues and solving mysteries, and he's eager to lend a paw to find the dog. After all, helping his classmates is his job!

With a fresh voice and an engaging hamster's-eye view of school, families, and treats to hide in a cheek pouch, Betty G. Birney's Humphrey will elicit laughter and a new appreciation for classroom hamsters everywhere.
