A review by wendybird727
Henry and Beezus by Beverly Cleary

4.0

The second book in the beloved Henry Huggins series. This book finds Henry working to earn enough money to buy his very own bicycle. As with the other books in the series, there are elements that out-of-date by today’s standards. I’ve seen other reviewers mention that they “edited” or omitted parts as they read aloud to their children. I prefer to use those parts of the books as jumping off points for conversations with my children. An added bonus to Henry and Beezus: a very young Miss Ramona Geraldine Quimby is fleshed out more as a character. And, as I think we all know, she adds extra zest to almost any situation.
