Bookroo's summary

Humphrey the hamster is thrilled about the first birthday party of the year in Room 26. As whispers fill the room, he suspects a secret celebration for Ms. Brisbane. But when the day arrives, the surprise is for him and Og! Join Humphrey in this delightful tale of unexpected twists and backward birthday fun.

From the publisher

Humphrey is excited to celebrate the kids of Room 26 with the first birthday party of the year! Kirk invites the class to his super-fun backward birthday bash, where everything is backward, including clothes! The kids in Room 26 have a great time, but they are sad when they realize that Humphrey, Og, and Ms. Brisbane aren’t on the birthday calendar. Everyone starts whispering and Humphrey can only make out a few words, but he thinks he knows what they’re planning–a birthday celebration for Ms. Brisbane! But when Friday comes around, Humphrey learns he was all wrong–the surprise party is for Humphrey and Og instead! With sweet illustrations and an easy reading level, Humphrey’s Tiny Tales are hamster-iffic for emerging readers.
