Henry Huggins by Beverly Cleary
Beverly Cleary is one of my all time favorite children's authors. Her Henry Huggins and Ramona Quimby collections are two that I will always treasure and can't wait to share with my own children.
I used this book as a read aloud for my Kindergartners. It is a 3rd or 4th grade level book, but using it as a read aloud gave them the opportunity to enjoy a more intricate story line than most of the books they are used to reading. They loved it!
In this first Henry book he finds a stray dog and adopts him. He names him Ribsy because he was so thin when Henry found him that his ribs were showing. The whole book follows Henry and Ribsy on their adventures and all the trouble they get themselves into. It is funny, cute, and even nail-biting in some instances (especially for Kindergartners)!
