henry and ribsy

I would recommend this book to anyone who likes to read books that are fun to read and books that have you wanting to read the next page and never stop reading. This book is very good and I think that it would be better for the younger aged kids, around 8 years old and up. This book keeps you wanting to read on and see what happens next. When I was done reading Henry and Ribsy, I noticed that I was never bored while reading. This book is a very easy book to read and it never gets slow. It's a fun book to read. The New York Times says, "Ribsy complicates life as only a loyal, bumbling, well-intentioned mutt can. Few writers for children handle everyday comedy so realistically as Beverly Cleary." Another quote by the magazine Kirkus says, "Henry's audience is in for more laughs. Another Cleary hit!" The magazine Booklist says, "Genuinely funny". Those quotes describe the story very well and describe how the book Henry And Ribsy is a fun book to read.

I want some P.T.A!

I have been an unabashed Cleary fan since I was six, and I would have trouble dictating a clear favorite among all of her excellent books, but this would definitely be in the top five because of the chapter about Ramona and the P.T.A., which is so funny I literally can't read it out loud for laughing too hard. Henry, Ribsy, Beezus and Ramona are destined to become classic characters in American childhood, if they haven't already, and these books have already been around long enough to provide a charming glimpse into times past.

Very Funny

This year, when Mr. Huggins goes fishing, his son Henry wants to come, too. But Henry's dog Ribsy is causing trouble. So they make a deal, if Henry can keep Ribsy out of trouble for a month, Mr. Huggins will take him fishing. Henry thinks it'll be easy, but he soon learns it's going to be harder then he thought.This book was my first introduction to Beverly Cleary, so it holds a special place in my heart. Henry's adventures are real, funny, and heart-warming. The chapter "Ramona and the PTA" is not to be missed; it's a riot.I highly recommend this kid's classic.

Salmon fishing Anyone?

I liked this book because Henry has a very funny, silly and weird dog named Ribsy. Also,I enjoyed Henry and Ribsy because the first chapter book that I ever read was by Beverly Cleary. This is why I liked the book Henry and Ribsy.
