More Adventures According to Humphrey

Ahoy, maties!

I've had my share of adventures as the beloved pet hamster of Room 26. But when I heard about the sailing competition on Potter's Pond, I longed for a BIG-BIG-BIGGER adventure of my own. Believe me, I got it ...but it wasn't all smooth sailing. I helped out my classmates Gail, Richie and Kirk, took an unsqueakably dangerous (but thrilling) voyage of my own, and even came face-to-face with a pirate! To top it all off, I just had to tell you about all the extra adventures that happened along the way: I got to know even more of my friends from Longfellow School, and faced a BIG-BIG-BIGGER surprise than ever!

Would I do it again? Aye-aye, you bet I would! It's all in a day's work for me!

Your extra-adventurous pal,
Humphrey

Résumé
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. When Humphrey hears about a sailing competition on Potter's Pond, he longs for a BIG-BIG-BIGGER adventure. And believe us, he gets one . . . but it isn't all smooth sailing. He helps out his classmates, takes an unsqueakably dangerous voyage of his own, and even comes face-to-face with a pirate! Praise for Humphrey: 'An effective exploration of the joys and pains of making and keeping friends, which will strike a chord with many children.'Daily Telegraph 'A charming, feel-good tale.'Irish Times '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.'Publisher's Weekly 'Humphrey, a delightful, irresistible character, is big hearted, observant and creative.'Booklist
