Another fantastic book about Henry Huggins! This book ended on such a high note that towards the end, I just couldn't stop smiling.
It's true the book is about Henry building his clubhouse, but the title easily could have been Henry and Ramona. I loved seeing Ramona play a bigger role in this book, and I especially enjoyed reading about her relationship with Henry. Even though Ramona is generally considered the neighborhood pest, she really redeems herself in the last couple chapters of this book. She is downright endearing! (Especially if you read an edition illustrated by Tracy Dockray.)
As usual, I just loved Henry Huggins. He is so resourceful and hard-working! Just an all-around really good kid. He knows the value of a good idea, he understands the importance of seeing things through (even if it's something you don't want to do, but you know you have to do it), and he takes pride in his work. He's not perfect, and we see how he struggles with Ramona, who bugs him a lot. But instead of just complaining about her, he finds a solution - and not just any solution! A really ingenious one!
