A review by alboyer6
Henry Huggins by Tracy Dockray, Beverly Cleary

4.0

I loved the Henry Huggins books so much when I read them in 2nd grade to the point that I wouldn't touch the books about his annoying younger neighbor Ramona. So to honor Cleary's 100th birthday I decided to reread the books I have such fond memories of and the first series I binge read. HH was the the first book she wrote and could now probably be considered historical fiction with references to 5¢ pay phone call that is connected by an operator and other monetary and technological differences. I had forgotten how each chapter in many ways was simply a short story the comprised a year in Henry's life. Still a good book about a boy and his dog that is charming today as it was then. Good book!
