Dear friends,

I LOVE-LOVE-LOVE being the classroom hamster in Room 26, Longfellow School. I’ve learned a lot about reading, writing, maths and making friends … and I’ve had amazing adventures in and out of my cage, too. But I also love solving puzzles and riddles in the tiny notebook I keep hidden in my cage. They’re not always easy but if I wiggle my whiskers and scratch my furry head for a while, I usually can solve them.

To keep you busy, I’m sharing some of my favourites in this fun-filled book so you can find out if you’re as smart as a hamster! (I’ll bet you are.)

Your puzzle-loving pal, Humphrey
