Another great book read with Samuel. He rates it 5/5 because it’s about friendship, working hard, and loved the funny part with the Sherrif Bud tv show and Ramona.

I quite liked this one - except for Henry dressing up like an "angry Indian" for Halloween.

Henry decides to build a clubhouse with his friends and has to balance working on that with his paper route. Ramona decides to follow henry on his paper route and he must cope with this as well. He learns to value both beezus and Ramona. There’s also a running joke about a mistaken name that cracked my 6 yo up every time.

Henry and the Clubhouse by Beverly Cleary – Now the real question is why Henry thinks he can keep Ramona out of anything she has a mind to meddle in? It does make for a funny story! Happy Reading!

This book is tough to review. It had some of the funniest, most memorable scenes we've experienced in the Henry Huggins books, from "Harry Higgins" to Sheriff Bud to Henry riding in a bathtub down the street. Unfortunately, it also had this constant refrain of "no girls allowed" due to the clubhouse saga (for which Henry never really makes up for his failure to stick up for Beezus) and a gross Halloween where Henry dresses up as a crummy caricature of an indigenous person. I know this was common for the time, the casual sexism and racism, but it tainted an otherwise extremely fun book.

My favorite part in this book is when Henry grows five inches taller in 5 minutes. I love the Klickitat Street kids. Planning a reread of the 2 series very soon!

Henry finally got his paper route in the last book, but now he feels the pressure of selling subscriptions. He's waiting for someone to move into the empty house in his neighborhood so he'll have a new customer. In the meantime, he and his friends build their own clubhouse.
Ramona is very prevalent in this book, and she's quite the character. (She won't have her first solo book for six more years.) Henry is growing up though, so his interactions with Ramona are more brotherly than kids bugging each other, as it was in the earlier books. The ending of this book has a very touching scene between the two of them.

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.
