About This Book
Humphrey the hamster loves listening to tales of dragons and knights, but when it's time to write his own story, his imagination seems to take a nap. As his classmates dream of flying away, Humphrey stays content in Room 26, finding creative ways to help and entertain friends. With a little encouragement and clever tips from Mrs. Brisbane, Humphrey discovers that writing can be an exciting adventure too!
