Zusatztext “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.
