Hysterical! This is my favorite book in the series so far. My son and I finished a week ago and still talk about the funny surprise ending.

Herbie and his friend Raymond end up in the silliest predicaments. 2nd graders and up ought to love this book.

Overall a good book but a bit unrealistic 3rd grader don’t carry purses or mow lawns these kids want to grow up too fast but other than that it was a good book with good characters with good intentions that didn’t always turn out right it has a lot of humor too

Starting to preview my daughter's books before she reads them to make sure they are appropriate.
It was a humorous tale a bit reminiscent of Dennis the Menace.
