I read Beverly Cleary books a gazillion times when I was a little girl. I missed the Ramona series, but I loved all the books about Henry and Ribsy and his friends on Klickitat Street. This one I read aloud to every class I taught, fifth grade and second grade, even though I was cautioned by a school librarian that this book would be too hard for my second graders. Before I knew it, every kid in my class was checking out (and reading, I'll have you know, Mrs. P---) Beverly Cleary.

As a child Ramona was my favorite book. I read Henry Huggins, but never really "got into" this series.
However, as an adult and reading it with our boys, I realize Beverly Cleary has the same captivating way in all her books. These are books with warm-hearted situations with a golden look on life. These are the clean and wholesome books that captivate true childhood. These are the books that we want our children to embrace and lose themselves in.
And they do!!! ...more

My kids and I have been enjoying these Henry Huggins books. Dock 1 star because of the "dumb girls" comments that are included periodically, but it is a good springboard for discussion with my 6 and 4 year old.
