Henry and the Paper Route (Henry Huggins)

Henry is a wonderful boy, and reading Henry and the Paper Route will delight children and adults who may be reading along. Beverly Cleary's writing is clever, uses excellent vocabulary that children can learn and use, and her characters are relatable to boys and girls. If you read this as a child, you'll love revisiting it. If you've never read it, share it with a child in your life. Worthy for any boy or girl to read and enjoy.

Thanks to my sister Lisa for giving me this book. We both had paper routes as kids, and who doesn't love Henry Huggins?? And Ramona and Beezus, of course.

My 10-y-o grandson & I are really enjoying reading the Henry Huggins books together. They are a bit of a history lesson for him, but the stories are still relevant & relatable. Fast shipping by Amazon too!

My 8 yo son was sad that this was the last book about Henry Huggins. He throughly enjoyed each one of the books about Henry's adventures. All the Henry Huggins books are wonderful for boys to read they really grasp their attention and keep it. When I asked my son what book he wanted to read next he said he wanted to read the Henry Huggins books over again. I would highly recommend this book as well as the others in the Henry Huggins series and don't forget Ribsy's book too.

Bought for my great-grandson. He loves the series

The boy in the story wants to be a paperboy, but he is told he's too young. He ingratiates himself with the other paperboys and helps them fold papers. One boy asks him to fill in one day and he is eager to do the job. His school has a paper drive going on and he gets the idea to put a brief advertisement in the rolled up papers. This works great and he has a huge job collecting all the papers and magazines his neighborhood has for him. But he sticks with it and gets the job done. Throughout the story he takes on jobs which test his ability to complete. But he doesn't give up and works to find more efficient ways of accomplishing it. Pretty admirable kid with guts and determination. A well told story. My 8 year old liked it even tho it isn't high adventure or danger or anything exotic. It's just a nice kid living his life and I imagine he will grow into a successful man.

I purchased this book for my 8 year old grandson,who loves to read, and he enjoyed it, but who doesn’t like Beverly Cleary!

We bought my six year old a boxed set of Beverly Cleary book at a warehouse store, and there were some that were not included. This was one of them. These books are pretty timeless, and are just as good as I remember them being when I was in elementary school. These make GREAT bedtime reading for our voracious young reader, and I look forward to reading them again with my daughter when she's older.

Recentemente ho provato vari libri di vari autori, da leggere a mio figlio di quasi sei anni. Questa serie di libri Beverly Cleary e' stata una scoperta casuale ma molto positiva. I libri sono garbati, ed allo stesso tempo coinvolgenti. Non ci sono maghi, streghe e "cattivoni", semplice vita di tutti i giorni, con le sue mille avventure. Forse per questo alla fine i ragazzini possono identificarsi piu' facilmente con i protagonisti. Non mi fraintendete: certamente fra un po' cominceremo a leggere la saga di Harry Potter... ma questi libri di Henry, sicuramente meno "epici", sono forse piu' "reali" e "positivi" delle saghe fantasy che oggi monopolizzano tutta la nuova produzione per ragazzi. Unico neo: i libri sono un po' datati. Vi troverete a dovere spiegare che cos'e' una macchina per scrivere, o perche' la gente non ha telefonini ed ipad. Problemi minori, comunque. Dunque, per me cinque stelle.

I just read this to my 4 year old and he loved it as much as the other Henry Huggins books. Unfortunately it is the last in the series. I read them all when I was a child and enjoyed them just as much the second time around.

１１歳の誕生日までもう少しのHenryは、少しでも早く新聞配達を始めたくて仕方ありません。 配達員に空きが出来たと聞いて勇んで出かけたものの、「１１歳になったらまたおいで」 と言われてしまいます。どうしても配達員になりたいHenryは色々計画しますが.... 配達員の面接のシーンがなかな愉快です

Be careful because the editions that are in the description do not match what actually comes. The edition that come in the mail was from 2020!!!
