According to Humphrey
review 1: The Humphrey books are one of my favorite elementary grade series. The books are always well written and are just perfect for elementary students. They are a quick read and make an excellent class read a loud. Students will be entertained by Humphrey’s antics. Adults will appreciate the lessons he teaches (and students won’t mind either as the lessons are relayed in a very kind friendly way).Kids who are just getting into mysteries will enjoy the mystery of the missing teacher in this latest installment. Adults will enjoy the interesting ideas Birney has for teaching. All in all, as Humphrey would say, this is a book that everyone will LOVE, LOVE, LOVE!I highly recommend this book (and the whole series) for elementary library collections as well as classroom collection... mores.Recommended as a read a loud for 2nd grade and up.Recommended for independent reading: 3rd grade and up.AR Reading Level: 3.8Mrs. Archer’s rating: 5 of 5!
review 2: One day Mrs. Brisbane was reading an exciting Sherlock Holmes mystery, The Red Headed League, to the class and is teaching the students of Rm. 26 to be word detectives. The next day she was missing. Humphrey doesn’t understand how this could be. When she left the night before she said “See you tomorrow.” She’d never broken her word before.Mrs. Brisbane is gone. Mr. E is the substitute teacher who doesn’t seem to be teaching or helping his friends learn. Humphrey must help them on his own. He must collect the clues and bring Mrs. Brisbane back. He must find out what happened and how he is involved. Mrs. Brisbane’s first note said, “I was all because of Humphrey.” It seems that one mystery leads to more. Humphrey is unsqueakably confused but is as determined as Sherlock Holmes to put all the pieces together until all the mysteries are solved and Mrs. Brisbane is found. Finally then Og, Humphrey and all the students in Rm. 26 can be GLAD GLAD GLAD. less
