A classroom hamster joins the holiday preparations

With the holidays approaching in Room 26, Humphrey takes in the different ways his classmates celebrate as they prepare costumes and songs for a Winter Wonderland pageant. The seasonal bustle also brings a few practical worries: Daniel is struggling with practice, Holly is anxious about making gifts, and Humphrey needs to find a present for Og. The setup brings together classroom friendship, holiday traditions, gift-giving, and helping one another, with Humphrey involved in both the preparations and his friends’ concerns.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Children ages 9–12 who enjoy stories featuring animal characters.
  • Readers interested in classroom friendships and seasonal celebrations.
  • Children who like stories about pageants, gift-making, and helping classmates.

Book overview

It's the HAPPY-HAPPY-HAPPY holidays for everyone's favorite classroom pet!

The holidays are coming and Humphrey is unsqueakably excited. He loves to hear about all the different ways his friends in Room 26 celebrate and to watch them make costumes and learn songs for the Winter Wonderland pageant. (He even squeaks along!)

But with so much to do, will the holidays go according to plan? Do-It-Now-Daniel is having trouble practicing, Helpful-Holly can't stop worrying about making presents for her friends, and Humphrey still has to find a gift for Og! Good thing Humphrey is one smart hamster who can help them all fill the season with JOY-JOY-JOY!

Nominated for twenty-four state awards and the winner of seven, the Humphrey series is a hit across the country. And he's a One School, One Book favorite!
