Neil Patrick Harris + Beverly Cleary = There is no bad here.
For NPH to sound as happy about narrating this as he was doing The Bro Code tells me he truly enjoys what he does. It made the listening experience all the more pleasant.
And the book itself was as adorable as I would expect of a Cleary book. Five stars for the story alone. She truly did have a marvelous grasp of young children while writing her books.

This was a fun book to listen to with the kids. I highly recommend the audio version with Neil Patrick Harris as narrator. He does a fabulous job! My only complaint was that some of the chapters were a bit lengthy for the age of my kids.

Gotta start reading more "boy books" since I'm going to have a little boy! (When I was a little girl I usually didn't touch books about boy stuff - yuck!) This one was sweet - hard to believe kids were ever that innocent or respectful!

Silly and sweet book of Henry dealing with guppies, a friend's football, the school Christmas play, the town's dog show and a show-down at the end.
I liked when the mother was typing a letter. Henry decided to forge a letter, then tore it up. Perhaps I will type a letter (or an envelope) this weekend.
The friends hollering for each other outside their houses made me smile.
I adore Beverly Cleary's books.
