My 10 year old son and I read this together. We laughed at henry and his encounters with Ramona. I loved Henry's determination in getting the paper route. My son loved it so much, we're reading another Henry book.

I didn't think the Henry books were nearly as entertaining as the Ramona books. Henry's "adventures" were kind of boring.

To be honest, I don't think Henry Huggins has held up nearly as well as the sisters Quimby upon re-reading.

The man who gets my Henry Huggins references is the man I'm going to marry.
