I'm so sad to see the Henry Huggins series come to an end!
In this book, Ribsy gets lost, and we follow his adventures as he tries to find his way home. It reads kind of like Harry the Dirty Dog, in that the main character is a dog, and we see events from the dog's perspective.
This is a great book about Ribsy, but I did find that I missed Henry and Beezus and the other kids on Klickitat Street. Isabelle gave it 4 stars because she thought it was too exciting; she actually felt a lot of anxiety about whether or not and how Ribsy would get back to Henry. I had to repeatedly reassure her that Beverly Cleary wouldn't let Ribsy stay lost forever, and it was a bit of comfort, too, that she peeked ahead and saw an illustration of Henry and Ribsy together at the very end of the book.
