EEK-EEK-EEK! Mrs. Brisbane is missing!

Humphrey has always investigated things, like why Speak-Up-Sayeh was so quiet and Tall-Paul and Small-Paul didn't get along, but this is a true mystery--Mrs. Brisbane is missing! She just didn't show up in Room 26 one morning and no one told Humphrey why. The class has a substitute teacher, called Mr. E., but he's no Mrs. Brisbane. Humphrey has just learned about Sherlock Holmes, so he vows to be just as SMART-SMART-SMART about collecting clues and following leads to solve the mystery of Mrs. Brisbane (and a few others along the way).

Nominated for twenty-four state awards and the winner of seven, the Humphrey series is a hit across the country.

Editorial Reviews

Review

“Humphrey, a delightful, irresistible character, is big hearted, observant, and creative.” —Booklist on The World According to Humphrey

“Humphrey is a witty, fun, and lovable character with great kid appeal.” —School Library Journal on Surprises According to Humphrey

“This thoughtful yet upbeat tale lends credence to the notion that actions and intentions can be misinterpreted while pointing out the benefits of looking at a situation from another’s point of view. Readers will find that seeing the world from Humphrey’s standpoint is mighty satisfying.” —Kirkus Reviews on Friendship According to Humphrey

“Narrated in Humphrey’s lively voice, the story is characteristically amusing and incorporates kid-relevant issues, such as being the last chosen for sports teams and the importance of respect, support, kindness, and appreciation. New and returning readers will enjoy the caring hamster’s unique perspective on everything from friendship to fire drills.” —Booklist on Surprises According to Humphrey

“Humphrey is just as lovable and sweet as he was in Friendship According to Humphrey. His escapades teach honesty, responsibility, and the consequences of actions.” —School Library Journal on Trouble According to Humphrey

Came with greasy/sticky substance on front and back covers

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on September 22, 2022

Received 2 books in the package. Would have given 5 stars, but, Both books had sticky, greasy gunk on their top and bottom covers. It was all over the airbags as well. Fortunately, it wasn’t on the pages and easily wiped off.

I bought this book so I could read along with my granddaughter who was reading it at school. She had an assignment, too. She used a shoe box and created a “ cage “ like Humphrey’s complete with nesting box, “ poop only “ corner, detective stickers, and a plush toy hamster inside. It was really cute. It was a fun book, even for grandma.

It's Humphrey! What more do i need to say?

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on April 17, 2012

Another great book from Betty G Birney.My eight year old daughter loves these Humphrey books and is always on the look out for one she hasn't already read. She reads them over and over again and the only downside is having to wait for Betty G Birney to write the next instalment to Humphreys adventures. I think the next one is due out about September, but it's along time to wait when you are only eight!

Another great book in the series

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on April 18, 2012

Verified Purchase

My 8 year old son loves the Humphrey books. I have read all of them to him at bedtime and I have enjoyed the stories too. Humphrey the classroom Hamster helps solve the problems of the children in class and I am sure most primary school children (especially the younger ones) can identify with some of the problems. In this book even the teacher had a few issues that needed dealing with!

Thank you once again for this entertaining and educational book. Loved by adult reader and listener child of 7 alike. My only concern now is we may run out of stories as we have read so many.
