Summary

Humphrey might be the first classroom hamster ever to be part of a magic act in this fifth book in the popular chapter book series!

The kids in Room 26 are talking about jobs they want to have when they grow up. Golden-Miranda wants to be a magician and, even more exciting, she wants Humphrey to be her assistant when she shows the class some tricks.

But when one of her tricks is in trouble, can Humphrey's quick thinking (and scampering) fix it in time?

With sweet illustrations and an easy reading level, Humphrey's Tiny Tales are hamster-iffic for emerging readers.

Horn Book Review

In these installments in the classroom hamster's early-chapter-book spinoff series, Humphrey plays assistant in student Miranda's magic act (Trick) and he wants to find a way to march in the school fair parade with his Room 26 class (Surprise). The light and pleasant elementary-school stories are carried by Humphrey's amiable narrative voice and the generous spot art.
