Henry Huggins really wants his father to take him fishing -- especially since that obnoxious Scooter McCarthy keeps bragging about his big fishing trip. But Henry's dog Ribsy has been misbehaving lately -- everything from running off with the neighbor's barbecue roast to stealing a policeman's lunch. Mr. Huggins says there will be no fishing trip unless Henry can keep Ribsy out of trouble.
It won't be easy, but Henry is determined that Ribsy will stay on his best behavior. No chasing cats, no ripping up lawns...and no getting anywhere near little Ramona Quimby, whose name spells T-R-O-U-B-L-E! --back cover
What can we say?!? This is, according to my grandson (8), another 6 star rating. Ribsy's adventures were most exciting and interesting. "Ribsy" has more tension than most of Beverly Cleary's books; and, it is "simply riveting".
It's probably not surprising, my grandson rates this at 6 stars. Beverly Clearly again had us laughing, smiling and enjoying Henry's Adventures. This book is just plain good fun. These books (the series) are a great way to bond with your young folks and reminisce about your youth, if you were born in the 1950s.
