When Humphrey hears that school is ending, he can't believe his ears. What's a classroom hamster to do if there's no more school? It turns out that Mrs. Brisbane has planned something thrilling for Humphrey and Og the frog: they're going to Camp Happy Hollow with Ms. Mac and lots of the kids from Room 26! Camp is full of FUN-FUN-FUN new experiences, but it's also a little scary. There are fur-raising wild sounds and smells, and there's something called the Howler to watch out for. Humphrey is always curious about new adventures, but could camp be too wild even for him? Download and start listening now!

    " Main character is a hamster who helps people out when they need it. Best friend is a frog. Great for kids grades 2nd - 5th. Great book to read aloud! "

  • 4 out of 54 out of 54 out of 54 out of 54 out of 5 Julianna | 6/13/2013

    " I think this book is good because Humphrey gets to go outdoors for the first time and he gets to go to camp. His camp is called Camp Happy Hollows. What I like about Summer According to Humphrey is the new friends Humphrey makes--both people and a mouse. It is as good as the other Humphrey books. "

  • 4 out of 54 out of 54 out of 54 out of 54 out of 5 Christina | 1/16/2012

    " My kids love this cute little series about a classroom pet hamster and his adventures. In this book, he attends summer camp with his fellow classroom pet the frog and learns all about life at camp. Very cute (for the kids, I don't find it as interesting!) "

  • 4 out of 54 out of 54 out of 54 out of 54 out of 5 Angie | 1/14/2012

    " Cute. In this one Humphrey gets to attend summer camp. I like how some of his ideas for helping kids to make friends really could work. "

  • 5 out of 55 out of 55 out of 55 out of 55 out of 5 Kristine | 12/4/2011

    " This is a good book for anyone from 2nd-4th grades. It has some repetition which children learn and these are the ages kids start to learn and go to camps. This is a very fun one with several different lesson plans that could be based around this. "

  • 4 out of 54 out of 54 out of 54 out of 54 out of 5 Debcrittenden | 5/18/2011

    " 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. "

  • 5 out of 55 out of 55 out of 55 out of 55 out of 5 Laura | 5/16/2011

  • 5 out of 55 out of 55 out of 55 out of 55 out of 5 Pbaker | 4/24/2011

    " This is a read-aloud just about every year for my class. I love the way Humphrey can solve so many issues...he needs to be a school counselor! This is one way to have a classroom pet. "

  • 3 out of 53 out of 53 out of 53 out of 53 out of 5 Rhiannon | 4/8/2011

  • 1 out of 51 out of 51 out of 51 out of 51 out of 5 Lyddie | 4/3/2011

    " Your basic story of a creature who meets a new family every chapter and solves their problems. Too twee by half. Second graders who like animal stories might like it. Maybe third. "

    " It was so interesting and fun to read! "
