The World According to Humphrey by Betty G. Birney
Genre: Children's animal fiction
Short Summary: Humphrey, Class 26's pet hamster, does a bunch of things that are impossible for hamsters to do and learns a lot of lessons in the meantime.
My rating: 3 stars

My thoughts:

Plot: 1 star
There isn't any kind of plot, just a lot of random little adventures Humphrey has. Also, there was a plot hole: Just how can Humphrey presumably write this book in a doll-sized notebook that's small enough for Humphrey to carry in his mouth? This really bothered me. I don't know why. Another thing: How can a kid teach her mom English in like two days by demanding her mom talk to a hamster? Of course, I am not the intended audience (last I checked, I'm not in 2nd grade).

Characters: 4 stars
For what this is, the characters aren't so bad. I actually liked Mrs. Brisbane and Humphrey.

Writing: 4 stars
Cute and simple.

Do I recommend this? How old are you? If you're under ten, sure. Otherwise, probably not.
