Humphrey's night out The Adventures of Humphrey the Guinea Pig
Humphrey's night out The Adventures of Humphrey the Guinea Pig is written by Christopher Weedon and illustrated by Sandra Weedon of Great Britain. This is the story of Humphrey and his journey at night as he visits and explores his outside environment. It is also a story of friendship and sharing interests. The drawings uses the various tones and hues of colors and looked as if they were done with crayons, but they are really good in my opinion for kids will really like this story. There are questions in the back of the book to start discussions and to check for understanding and listening skills. Even adults could learn something from this story.
