Book Reviews of Henry and Ribsy
Book Review: Henry and Ribsy
Summary: 5 Stars
ISBN 0380709171 - Beverly Cleary is one tough author to dislike. She's got writing for children down pat, and her books appeal to boys as well as girls - that's no small feat in world where everyone looks at Goosebumps as "boys' books" and the Babysitters Club as "girls' books". Cleary simply does "children's books" and does them well.
Henry would like very much to go fishing with his father, at the very least so that he can catch a really big Chinook to show up Scooter. Mr. Huggins even agrees to take Henry along, on one condition: keep Ribsy out of trouble until then. Piece of cake! thinks Henry. Blindly loving his dog, he cannot imagine that keeping such a good dog out of trouble would require much effort at all. But Ribsy is Ribsy and, despite Henry's confidence, Ribsy just can't seem to help himself.
Fantastically funny stuff! The trouble Ribsy can manage to get into never fails to make me laugh, even after all these years. While times have changed and your children probably don't wander the neighborhood quite as freely as these kids do, children and dogs stay pretty much the same and, man, are they fun. The series of suggestions for how Henry should pull out his loose teeth is, alone, worth the price of the book. Get it for your kid - and be sure to read it, again, yourself.

Summary of Henry and Ribsy
At last, Henry Huggins's father has promised to take him fishing, on one condition. Henry's dog, Ribsy, has been in all sorts of trouble lately, from running off with the neighbor's barbecue roast to stealing a policeman's lunch. To go on the fishing trip, Henry must keep Ribsy out of trouble -- no chasing cats, no digging up lawns...and no getting anywhere near little Ramona Quimby, the pest of Klickitat Street.
