SUMMARY:

One Wednesday afternoon, Henry Huggins was swimming at the Y.M.C.A. When he went outside, he found a skinny dog and decided to keep him. Because the dog was so thin, Henry decided he would call him Ribsy. Then Henry called his mother to see if he could keep Ribsy, and she said yes. Then twice, Henry was turned off of the bus, but the third time, he finally got on. Then, Ribsy made such a big mess on the bus that the police came and took Henry and Ribsy home.

OPINION:

My favorite character is Henry because he makes a lot of funny mistakes, like the time when he brought Ribsy on the bus. My least favorite character is Scooter because he is usually mean to Henry and he brags a lot. I would recommend the book because it is funny in some parts, and it even teaches several lessons.
