My first grader loves it when we read picture books at bedtime, but now we are also venturing into some longer chapter books. We recently read The World According to Humphrey, and we found it hard to put down. Despite no illustrations, this story about a spunky, observant hamster that bunks up with students over the weekends really held his attention and often left him asking me to read more when it was time to turn off the light. It has short chapters, relatable school-age characters, and inspiring acts of friendship. At his request, we are already enjoying book number two, Friendship According to Humphrey.
Mom, which book is next?
