Holidays According To Humphrey (2010) - Plot & Excerpts
Humphrey, the class hamster, spends the summer at camp (with co-class pet Og the Frog). He reports on the events that occur. There are regular summer camp events that go on, but not one big dramatic build up. As an adult, I found the storyline slow and not especially exciting. The book is more about character development than action. Humphrey talks about how a boy who did not like camp at the start changes to like camp at the end. Also, a cabin that relied on one star athlete learns to work together. Another girl who misses her friend becomes more involved in camp as the summer goes on. I love this book because I love animals. Summer vacation is here. Humphrey heard Mrs. Brisbane saying the school is ending. Humphrey thought no more school for ever and Og and himself will need to go back to the pet shop they came from. He will miss his friends.... But instead, Mrs. Brisbane planned something thrilling for them, including the students. They are going to camp together!! But Humphrey is thinking, is camp too wild for him? But it turns out camp is just fine for him. He even met new friends! Humphrey loves camp and will company new students when they come to camp and let them have a good time.

The kids loved it. Another fun adventure for Humphrey. At least one more adventure to follow.

There were to many boring parts of the story. Kids didn't remain interested the whole time.
