" Love the Humphrey series for 7 year old girls (my 10 year old listens too). I liked this one in particular because it addresses the issue of changing classrooms, teachers and class mates at the beginning of the school year. "

— Lauren, 5/20/2011" We will definitely be reading all of the Humphrey books in the series. My kids loved listening to Humphrey and would beg for me to read one more chapter each night. Kidnergarten on up is a great age to read this one out loud to. "
