Henry Huggins Audiobook

" I read this when I was a kid and remembered liking it so I decided to read it with my daughter. She liked it and is ready to move on to the next in the series. It was enjoyable for me and brought back some memories from my childhood when I read all the Beverly Cleary books. The only part she didn't like was that Henry feeds Ribsy horse meat. She is a rider and that part she found quite disturbing! I didn't remember that and quite frankly thought it was gross too! Otherwise we had a good time reading it! "

" Fun and funny, but at the end of the day just too 1950s for me. Cleary's Beezus and Ramona books have aged better. "

" It was fun to read Henry Huggins in the context of Beverly Cleary's memoirs. Just as she hoped, the book was very simple, funny and loveable. "

" One of the first "not very many pictures" books I read to Nolan. He liked it pretty well. "

" Starting to think that I only like Ramona books from Beverly Cleary. Maybe I'll think about that before I go to the public library and check out all of the books authored by her. :/ "

" This is a collection of six stories about a boy named Henry and his dog Ribsy. Most of the stories are engaging and excellent for younger readers, but there are a few duds, for sure. This book works because it has chapters that can be read in one sitting, and only limited (but some) continuity between them. This teaches students to recall events from sitting-to-sitting, while not demanding too much of them. Recommended. "

" Not as good as the Ralph books. Disjointed stories. "

" All the Beverly Cleary books are excellent. Since there are many, many of them I'm only listing my special favorites. "

" I'm reading this aloud with my 7 year old. It wasn't as funny as I remembered it to be, but we liked it okay. "

" What I loved most about Ramona, Beezus, Henry, and the rest of Beverly Cleary's children was how real their fears and joys and neuroses seemed to be - and how easily readers could identify with them. I can't wait to give my kids these books. "

" Henry is a unique boy character and this introductory book was always my favorite of his series. The kind of everyday kid I went to school with, made far more interesting by Cleary's portrayal. "

" Henry's adventures with his dog, Ribsy, still ring true today. "

" Cleary's books are the cutest :) "

" Re-read -still cute- holds up. "

" I loved Beverly Cleary as a kid, and I wanted to revisit her books. This was a fun little read. Good for say a 3rd grade boy... "

" I liked this book because it is very funny. It is kinda weird though because it was written a very long time ago before technology. I like it because the main character Henry gets to go places by himself. "

" my nine year old son hates reading. this is one of the first books he said he actually enjoyed and is looking forward to reading more adventures of henry. "

" Even cuter than I remember. "

" I've been reading these aloud to Patrick- it's fun to see them through a child's eyes again. "

" A sweet story about a boy and his dog and an easy read aloud for Beck and Yogi. "

" Wonderful story about a young boy, his dog, and their adventures together. "

" This book is so funny! My daughter (4) and my son (8) and I laughed all through this book. "

" This was better than I expected. "

" I read the whole series and thoroughly enjoyed them. "

" I've always loved Ramona and her sister Beezus, and I remember being pretty fond of Henry as well. Re-reading this book, I remembered why I liked Ramona and Beezus better, but reading about Henry and his dog is still really fun. "

" I liked taht fact that Henry was a self-starter. Whenever he wanted to do something, he did it. From raising guppies to entering his dog into a contest, He didn't waiting around for adult help. Plus, he always put forth his best effort. "

" My 8 yr old son and I read this together. He enjoyed it and didn't want me to stop reading it. It seemed to keep his attention pretty well. I'm not sure why he only gives it 3 stars. I give it 4 stars. "

" It's not Trumpet of the Swan, but Luke and I really enjoyed it. We picked up a copy of "Henry and Ribs" because we liked it so well. (It's a chapter book for young children.) "

" This was the perfect read together for my 7 yr old son and I. We were laughing so hard about Henry's role in the school play! I loved Cleary's Ramona when I was a kid and am glad to now meet Henry. "

" Jeepers! Is this ever wholesome. Holds up, though, as a perfect book for young readers.Realized half-way through that my third- or fourth-grade teacher read this book to the class, which was a pleasant memory. "

" Gotta start reading more "boy books" since I'm going to have a little boy! (When I was a little girl I usually didn't touch books about boy stuff - yuck!) This one was sweet - hard to believe kids were ever that innocent or respectful! "

" Remember liking every Beverly Cleary book as a kid and this was a fun read to remind me of why as an adult. Each chapter is like it's own short story about Henry and his pal Ribsy the dog. "

" I liked this one, but it seemed more of a collection of short stories than a book. It was a bit disjointed, but enjoyable nonetheless. My favorite chapter was Gallons of Guppies. I'm looking forward to reading the other Henry books. "

" Fun. Ribsy is a great dog! "

" Cleary's books are the cutest :) "

" It was fun to read Henry Huggins in the context of Beverly Cleary's memoirs. Just as she hoped, the book was very simple, funny and loveable. "

" Great read aloud for young boys! "

" I had to read this after reading Beverly Cleary's autobiographies. This was her first published book and she writes about how it came together in her second autobio. "

" I'm reading this series to my Henry and it is a big hit! "

" I enjoy sitting down with my boys and reading chapter books, in between all the fun books they pick at the library. My boys thoroughly enjoyed this book. It's a simple read (obviously), but a true classic. "

" I just finished reading this book aloud to my students. They absolutely loved it! "
