Bookroo's summary

Humphrey, the adventurous classroom hamster, joins Heidi and her friends for a backyard campout filled with stargazing and marshmallow roasting.

Join Humphrey on a night of fun and surprises, where friendship and wit shine brighter than the stars.

From the publisher

Everyone’s favorite classroom pet is now starring in chapter books! Humphrey has had lots of adventures as the classroom pet of Room 26, but never one like this. He is going on a campout in the backyard with Heidi and her friends! There’s stargazing, roasting marshmallows, searching for creepy-crawlies–and then there are the prank-loving boys next door, who want to prove that the girls are scaredy-cats. Humphrey doesn’t think girls are scaredy-cats. He doesn’t think girls are like cats at all. Can this VERY-VERY-VERY small hamster show them with a hairy-scary trick of his own? With sweet illustrations and an easy reading level, Humphrey’s Tiny Tales are hamster-iffic for emerging readers.
