The world according to Humphrey is about a hamster named Humphrey, who has an unsqeakably exciting job as a classroom hamster. He also gets to visit his classmates on the weekends. Humphrey also helps his classmates solve their problems and even the teachers, so I guess you can call him a hero hamster. He is a very loving hamster.
My favourite character in the book is the main character 'Humphrey' because he maybe small but awfully mighty. It’s like the saying big things come in small packages. Even though no - one understands him, though he knows what they are saying. It is like a comic book; Humphrey is the hero like Spiderman or Batman, etc.
My favourite quote from this book would have to be 'on the last day of school, everybody was very dressed up. I had on my fur coat as usual'. I thought it was quite funny because he is a hamster and they have fur; thick, silky, short, honey coloured fur 'coat'.
