Welcome
 

KEEP COOL THIS SUMMER!

In case you haven't caught on yet, the Humphrey books go in order and they move through the school year VERY-VERY-VERY slowly.

The fifth book, which will be out next year, takes my friends in Room 26 almost to the end of school. That means one of these days, I'll have to experience my first ever summer adventure!

Betty G. Birney says she knows what will happen but she won't tell me yet!

It's unsqueakably exciting to think about, though!

Here's some summer FUN-FUN-FUNNIES for you:

Q: What do you get if you cross a parrot with a centipede?

A: A walkie-talkie!

Q: What is a cow's favorite place to go?

A: The moo-vies!

Q: Why did the chicken cross the park?

A: To get to the other slide!

Your funny, furry friend,

Humphrey
