Welcome
 
HI, FRIENDS!

It's summertime!

Readers are always asking what I'll be doing over the summer. It was a BIG-BIG-BIG mystery to me for a while, but now I know the answer.
However, you'll have to wait until February to find out the answer. That's when my new book comes out and I have to say, it's unsqueakably exciting!
(Betty G. Birney, the human who puts her name on my books, says I absolutely can't tell you... yet!)

So instead, I'll share a couple of riddles that Og likes:

Q: What happens when a frog gets stuck in the mud?
A: It gets unhoppy!

Q: How do you telephone a frog?
A: You have to call the hoperator!

Og and I hope you have a VERY-VERY-VERY hoppy summer!

Your furry friend,

Humphrey
