Humphrey might be the first classroom hamster ever to be part of a magic act! The kids in Room 26 are talking about jobs they want to have when they grow up. Golden-Miranda wants to be a magician and, even more exciting, she wants Humphrey to be her assistant when she shows the class some tricks. But when one of her tricks is in trouble, can Humphrey s quick thinking (and scampering) fix it in time? With sweet illustrations and an easy reading level, Humphrey s Tiny Tales are great-great-great for emerging readers."About the Author: Betty G.
