Educator and author Esme Raji Codell has a nice plug for Summer According to Humphrey on her blog. If you love children&#8217;s books, you probably already read her. (You&#8217;ll have to scroll down a bit on the blog to get to Humphrey.)

It&#8217;s at the very end.  I especially like the &#8220;fun&#8221; part because one of the reasons I write for children is that I enjoyed,  loved, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Each year, a new Humphrey book comes out in hardcover in the U.S. A year later, that book comes out in paperback, which means it&#8217;s a lot more affordable.
So while I was excited about SUMMER ACCORDING TO HUMPHREY being published last week, I&#8217;m equally happy to announce that last year&#8217;s book, ADVENTURE ACCORDING TO HUMPHREY, [...]]]></description>

SUMMER ACCORDING TO HUMPHREY, aka HOLIDAYS ACCORDING TO HUMPHREY in the UK is off to a sunny start!
From the emails, letters and personal questions I get from Humphrey&#8217;s fans (and those of Sassafras Springs as well), a lot of readers don&#8217;t get around to digging a little deeper on the website so here are some [...]]]></description>

Now it&#8217;s back to working on Humphrey&#8217;s seventh book &#8211; hope it will be a good one!
