Henry Huggins really wants to go salmon fishing with his father. Mr. Huggins won't say "yes," but he doesn't say "no:' either. Instead, he makes a deal with Henry. "If you keep your mischievous dog Ribsy out of trouble for a month, I'll take you along;' he promises.
"It's a bargain!" Henry tells his father. He knows he can keep Ribsy in line. All he has to do is watch him every minute. Then Ribsy can't do things like chase Mr. Grumble's cat up a tree or dig up Mrs. Green's new 'awn. But leave it to Ribsy -- sometimes with the help of neighborhood terror Ramona Quimby -- to find new and better ways to misbehave!
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.
