Surprises According to Humphrey by Betty Birney


Humphrey loves being the classroom pet at Longfellow Elementary--Room 26 in Mrs. Brisbane’s classroom. All the children, including Don’t Complain-Mandy Payne, Sit-Still-Seth Stevenson, and Lower-Your-Voice-A.J. Thomas, are his friends. There are some strange happenings going on, however, and Humphrey is worried about his friends. Especially frightening is the fear that Aldo the janitor is being replaced by an alien. For Humphrey it’s SCARY, SCARY, SCARY.

  2. This book reminded me of my two guinpigs. The cat reminded me of my dog trying to eat them.I also thought that it was funny because when he was in the ball he always crash. When we put my guinipigs in the ball they don't move at all.
