As it was copyrighted in 1950, it is set in simpler times that don’t have technology at every turn. I appreciate how the kids are resourceful and don’t need to be entertained. Henry works hard and responsibly.
It just wasn’t our favorite book. I know there are huge Cleary fans in the world, but I guess we can’t all be one. 🙂 I actually remember not loving Cleary books when I was young and many of my friends loving them.
Have you read Henry Huggins?
