Humphrey comes across what turns out to be a winning lottery ticket that an elderly woman lost after tripping over a dog chasing a cat. Humphrey becomes a celebrity and decides to “support the shopkeepers” by ordering all kinds of things--before he’s gotten the check! The lottery authorities say he can’t win because he’s only six, (conveniently avoiding the fact that he’s also a mouse!). The shopkeepers are mad because they haven’t been paid. The parson finally determines that the real ticket holder must be found in order to settle the mess. Very amusing book, lots of humor to appreciate by adults. Love the illustration where all the women in town show up to claim the ticket--a lot of men obviously wearing dresses! no reviews | add a review
