Surprises According To Humphrey Av Betty G. Birney

<p><b>To celebrate his tenth birthday the whole Humphrey series has a smart new livery, repositioning him alongside perennial favourites such as Winnie-the-Pooh and Paddington.</b><br><br>Humphrey enjoys surprises as much as the next hamster, like his brand new hamster ball or a surprise part, but sometimes surprises can be bad...

All this and LOTS-LOTS-LOTS more happens in Humphrey''s new book of adventures, Surprises According to Humphrey.<br><br>Praise for Humphrey:<br><br><b>''An effective exploration of the joys and pains of making and keeping friends, which will strike a chord with many children.''</b> <i>Daily Telegraph</i><br><br><b>''A charming, feel-good tale.''</b> <i>Irish Times</i><br><br><b>''Humphrey''s matter-of-fact, table-level view of the world is alternately silly and profound and Birney captures his unique blend of innocence and earnestness.''</b> <i>Publisher''s Weekly</i><br><b><br>''Humphrey, a delightful, irresistible character, is big hearted, observant and creative.''</b> <i>Booklist</i></p>
