Logline:
Mama puts Humphrey to bed while Lottie does the same thing with her babies.
London:
This was one of my dad's absolute favorites. I like when Bear gets lost because my nickname is bear.
Ben:
"Jim-Jams on" helped us originate that term around the house. The nuance of language and insight into familial dynamics is really keen; This was a hot book for us to read around the time things were really stressful at ITT, and I can remember really taking solace in the warmth of Sally Hunter's World of Humphrey (both in this book and the other one we have). And we read it nearly every night.
What it would be like to be in this book:
The pleasure of childhood activities - the joy of simple things like baths and stories - would really appeal to Ben. (Being a child again, by the way, would also really appeal to Ben. Even if he had to be an elephant.) London would also really love to be an elephant because it appears - based on the logic of the book - that she would only drink warm milk and eat buttery toast for breakfast, lunch and dinner.
