My daughter needed to read this before she started 3rd grade and it was unavailable at the public library. So glad I could count on amazon for it at a great price!

Attention Animal Lovers...
By: Sienna Compton
Do you like great stories about animals? If so, you should read "Ribsy" by Beverly Cleary. It's a great adventure about a dog that gets lost, and travels on his own back home. When you read this book, you will feel like you're there, watching everything happen.
The story begins when Henry Huggins's family and their dog Ribsy head to the shopping center in their new station wagon. They get out to go shopping and leave Ribsy in the car. He accidently pushes the button that rolls down the window with his paw. The next thing Ribsy knew, he was getting out of the car looking for Henry Huggins. Ribsy, who was an old and colorblind dog, saw a brand new-looking station wagon that seemed the same color as the Huggins's car. He got in. When the wrong family opened the car doors and piled in, he was very confused. As soon as the family was home, they had decided to keep the dog so they were going to give him a bath. Ribsy decided to escape, and quick. Ribsy also met a women living on the side of the highway as he was traveling along. She took care of him until she made him do tricks and wear funny looking clothes around her friends. Ribsy was off to another home. Ribsy had gone to school to play with children, but this did not work because he just ended up chasing some kid's squirrel. He also tried sneaking home with a young boy after going to a football game but again he just ran away on a search for Henry Huggins. If you would like to find out the ending, you will have to read this book.
My favorite part of the story is the beginning when Henry, his family, and Ribsy are going to the shopping center. When they get there, Henry and his family go and shop and leave Ribsy behind in the car. Ribsy accidently pushed the button that rolls down the window with his paw. Ribsy hopped out of the car on a search for Henry Huggins. After Ribsy had gotten tired of looking for Henry and also barking and sniffing other dogs, Ribsy decided to look for his family's car. I learned from reading this book that having a dog, even a silly mutt like Ribsy, is a great honor. I know since I have a dog that dogs aren't just silly pets that you have to feed but they can be your friends too.
I would give this book 41/2 stars.
I hope you decide to read this wonderful book! (:

I bought this book for my son to write a report on from Amazon, and WOW! They stated the condition of the book was good. I say it was great! Not a tear on any page or a crinkled cover. The pages were a little brown from normal aging; but other then that. Great condition. Thank you Amazon for your excellent time in the delivery and condition of the product.
Sincerely,
Mary from Florida
 It was FANTASTIC! September 19, 2009

I have read a lot of books by Beverly Cleary. Mostly about Ramona but never about Henry. I thought it was great. After reading that book now I want to get a dog like Ribsy.
I liked this book. September 8, 2009

The Huggins family had just got a brand new shiny, clean, green car, and Mrs. Huggins wants to keep it that way, so Ribsy has not had one ride in it. One day the family hopped into the car to go to the shopping center and Ribsy chases the car until they let him get into the car. The family heads into the shopping center leaving Ribsy behind in the car, He spots a tiny Yapping dog and hops out the window to chase after it getting himself hopelessly lost in the huge parking lot. For a Long time he searches for the car until he sees a brand new, Shiny, Clean, Red car, Ribsy ( being colorblind) he hops into the car and when he wakes up he is surrounded by girls. They end up taking him home and giving him a bubble bath. He escapes and goes on many more adventures including living with old Mrs. Frawley, staying in a childrens classroom,playing in a football game, going to a boy named joes house, and going down a fire escape at a hotel. He ends up back in henrys car and on the way home
I liked this book and i recommend it and the other Beverly Cleary books.
