One School, One Book

The World According to HumphreyImagine 350+ families reading one book simultaneously.  One School, One Book is a program designed to create a shared reading experience across an entire school community. 

The World According to Humphrey is about learning from other species.  It is broken down into 15 chapters.  Each takes about 10 minutes to read.

Humphrey has fun in class each day and each weekend this amazing hamster gets to sleep over with a different student, like Lower-Your-Voice-A.J. and Speak-Up-Sayeh.

Soon Humphrey learns to read, write, and even shoot rubber bands (only in self-defense, of course). With lots of friends to help, adventures to enjoy, and a cage with a lock-that-doesn’t-lock; Humphrey's life is almost perfect. If only the teacher, Mrs. Brisbane, wasn’t out to get him!
