Book Reviews of Ribsy (Avon Camelot Books)
Book Review: Sienna from Lake Tapps says "Awesome Book!"
Summary: 5 Stars
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! (:
Summary of Ribsy (Avon Camelot Books)
Henry Huggins's dog, Ribsy, is hopelessly lost in a huge shopping mall parking lot. It's raining hard, the pavement is slick, horns are honking, and drivers are shouting. When Ribsy thinks he has found the Hugginses' new station wagon at last, he jumps in the open tailgate window and falls asleep, exhausted. When he wakes up find himself in the wrong car, lots of little girls pet him and make plans to give him a bath. All Ribsy wants to do is go home to Henry. Instead, he's about to begin the liveliest adventure of his life.
