Summary: Boy and Dog, what could be better
Review: A wonderful book that my son discoverd at his school library when he was nine. The love of a boy and his dog and the mischief they get into in 1950's heartland America. Adults will get a chuckle out of Henry and Ribsy's adventures as well. Can't think of a better book to get your kids started in reading with a good story, based on a moral and hopeful view of the world.

Summary: Henry Huggins
Review: Beverly Cleary keeps you on your feet in reading Henry Huggins and makes you rearin to go to the next chapter. Henry with a little help from Ribsy can turn disasters into the most wonderful thing in the world, boasting a miracle and a pet problem can be a comedy. Cleary brings Henry and Ribsy to life in Henry Huggins.

Summary: The book that started it all!
Review: From my understanding, Beverly Cleary was a librarian who could not get some boys to read. They complained that there wasn't anything to read that they could relate to. They asked why weren't there books about kids like them, just average boys? So Beverly Cleary wrote "Henry Huggins" for them- a story of an average boy who gets into all sorts of believable adventures with highly amusing results. It is a GREAT book, and Ms. Cleary introduced to children's literature some of its greatest characters: Henry and his dog, Ribsy; and, in later books, his tomboy friend, Beezus, and Beezus' amazingly pesty kid sister, Ramona. Everyone of the subsequent books in the Henry/Ramona series is fantastic- filled with humor and characters with whom kids can understand and relate. "Henry Huggins" started it all and makes a wonderful introduction to Ms. Cleary's world on Kickalat Street.

Summary: One of the first books I read as a child...
Review: I remember almost every one of Henry's antics and adventures and I read these books 20 years ago. This book is the classic that started it all. I love the Ramona books, but Henry will always be my favorite. He has his shortcomings, but he is a true good spirit, a good friend, and a great dog owner. Make sure to have your kids read this book, it is truly just a sweet story about a boy, his life, and his dog.

Summary: A Review by Jin Huang, Class 5-506
Review: In November, I read a book that was comical. Henry Huggins is a boy that had no excitement in his life until he found a dog on the streets. He was buying an ice cream cone and he met a dog. Then, he wanted to bring him home. He got on the bus home, but the dog ruined everything. Henry got kicked out of the bus five times. Then the police came, and Henry got so scared for he thought the policemen would take him away. Instead, the policemen just took him home. Henry named the dog Ribsy "because you could even see his ribs." The most important part was when Henry entered a dog show because he wanted to win something. Ribsy slid in the mud, so Henry used talcum powder on Ribsy. Henry didn't know it was pink and the judges said "that is a weird dog." Would Ribsy win anything? Or would he lose? A few months later, a boy came and claimed that Ribsy was his dog. Then they had a competition. Who would Ribsy choose?I hated the part when a boy came because Henry and Ribsy wee having a happy life, but the boy came to ruin it. How come Ribsy was on the streets? If I was Henry I would say "go home" and if he didn't I'll beat him up. Who will Ribsy choose? Who will he want to go with when the competition starts? I think this book is good for a kid who found a dog without a collar that belonged to someone else because you could see what this boy went through.

Summary: A Review by Jin Huang, Class 5-506
Review: My 9-year-old son wasn't an avid or enthusiastic reader, and when it came time for his first book report, my husband and I panicked. We were afraid we'd never find a book that sparked his interest enough to want to read through to the end. Thank goodness for Henry Huggins. This story is simply adorable, and I was delighted to see my son laugh out loud as he read the book. After he finished a chaper, he'd run and tell me what new mess Henry and his lovable scoundrel of a dog, Ribsy, had gotten themselves into. In fact, I actually caught my son reading the book on his own, with no prodding from me or his father. This book was published in 1950 and so my son did have a few questions about why things were so inexpensive in the story, but other than that, "Henry Huggins" is not dated at all and the story is just entertaining now as it was in the 1950s. I am so thankful that I purchased this book and that it not only kept my son's interest but helped him realize that books could be fun. This story should be a great first "chapter book" for any child who is ready to move past picture books.
