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!

Silly and sweet book of Henry dealing with guppies, a friend's football, the school Christmas play, the town's dog show and a show-down at the end.

I liked when the mother was typing a letter. Henry decided to forge a letter, then tore it up. Perhaps I will type a letter (or an envelope) this weekend.

The friends hollering for each other outside their houses made me smile.

I adore Beverly Cleary's books.

Neil Patrick Harris is the narrator, need I say more?

I loved the Henry Huggins books so much when I read them in 2nd grade to the point that I wouldn't touch the books about his annoying younger neighbor Ramona. So to honor Cleary's 100th birthday I decided to reread the books I have such fond memories of and the first series I binge read. HH was the the first book she wrote and could now probably be considered historical fiction with references to 5¢ pay phone call that is connected by an operator and other monetary and technological differences. I had forgotten how each chapter in many ways was simply a short story the comprised a year in Henry's life. Still a good book about a boy and his dog that is charming today as it was then. Good book!

My boys absolutely LOVED this book. I found it fun as well. We listened to the audio book read by Neil Patrick Harris and he did a great job.
