Ribsy (1964)

I started to read this to my 7 year old, but I think he's still a bit young for it. So just for the fun of it I read it on my own and it's a wonderful little dog story without being too sappy. I'm only a little familiar with Beverly Cleary's books but not too many author's are like her. Loved the illustrations! ( )

"Ribsy" is another entry in the Klikitat Street series of books. We've met Ribsy the dog in other books by Beverly Cleary, such as "Henry and Ribsy" and "Henry and the Paper Route", but this story is about a slightly older and (supposedly) wiser Ribsy.

Ribsy wants to go for a ride in the new car to the shopping center, and finally gets his way. However, he winds up lost, and adopted by a series of different people who just aren't the same as his best friend, Henry.

If you like Beverly Cleary books, or you just like reading about kids and animals, you should enjoy "Ribsy". ( )

A nice sequel. I was itching for the end. ( )

Another book in the series about Henry Huggins and his dog Ribsy. This time, Ribsy finds himself on an unexpected journey away from home! I loved these books when I was a child. ( )
