Our family listened to this while on a drive, and we all enjoyed it. Even as Henry lived in a different age of childhood, his adventures are still very relatable and engaging; Cleary is a master at presenting a child's interior thoughts and motivations.

Ugh Ramona is horrible and annoying throughout this whole book. Locking Henry in his clubhouse tagging along with Henry on his route throwing tantrums. She made me not like this book at all.

Henry has trouble balancing his paper route, construction on his clubhouse, and dealing with Ramona the Pest.
Charlie is such a fan of Henry Huggins. I love that he loves these books.

Once again, the Henry Huggins books make me nostalgic for a time I never knew.
My 4yo, who's in a "No Girls Allowed" phase, really appreciated the clubhouse rules, and all of us laughed out loud at Henry's solution to Ramona bothering him on his paper route.
I love how Cleary follows her characters on the circuitous route towards doing the right thing. We get to see Henry's initial reaction to a problem, his frustration, his decision to act in a less-than-nice manner, his reluctance to apologize, and his acknowledgement that the apology---though difficult---helped him feel better. Cleary's books are filled with ethical lessons that aren't at all heavy-handed. And they're just fun stories. I will be sad when we're finished with this series.
