Henry knows his dad takes his tooth and puts money under his pillow???? Thanks.......
The kids laughed at some parts. They like that Ribsy was in this book more. Henry has to keep him under control to earn a fishing trip with his dad. It taught responsibility, but was a little much- blaming Henry for every choice the dog made. But I'm just being picky. This is another good installment of the Henry series. A good, quality book that I'm sure we will read again. I'm so glad Neil Patrick Harris narrated this book! He did awesome with the first book and I was sad that he didn't do the second book. Apparently that's the only one he didn't narrate. Ok not sure why.

I don't think I enjoyed this as much as the first Henry Huggins book, but I still remember liking it well enough. :)

The best Henry Huggins book since the first, with challenges and hijinks and fun of the first book and almost no casual old-fashioned misogyny. Every chapter is fun and the end of the story is a triumph for our boy and his dog. The family and I loved it.

Read as part of my Beverly Cleary author study. Illustrations by Louis Darling. I didn’t remember as much about this book, though it was definitely a re-read for me. There is something calm and cozy about Henry’s life that is like an escape for me. I love how small things become adventures for Henry, like riding up in the car while the mechanic works on it.
In this book, Henry had a long-term goal of keeping Ribsy out of trouble so Henry could go on a fishing trip with his dad. I appreciate the reality of how Henry works to achieve this goal and then how the fishing trip actually plays out in the end.

All three of my boys are enjoying listening to me read the Henry Huggins series aloud to them.

Henry wants to go fishing with his dad. The catch he can only go if Ribsy behaves himself and they get no complaints about him. Highlights include Henry's parents giving him a haircut which reminded me of stories from my dad and his brothers when my grandpa cut their hair because he didn't want to spend the money. Ribsy also develops a hatred for the garbage man which was funny. Ribsy sort of reminds me of my childhood dog Cloud who often ran away and got into mischief. Ramona is still a horrible brat but it's still a fun story of childhood even if Henry isn't as much fun as Ramona.

Henry so much wants to go salmon fishing with his dad, but he has to earn the trip by making sure that Ribsy behaves for the rest of the summer. It's touch and go for a bit, but in the end, Henry's still saying, "Good old Ribsy."
Charlie, I think, is officially a Cleary fan - he's loving the Henry/Beezus/Ramona stories.
