Henry and Beezus by Beverly Cleary

Dear Class,

This book has some interesting twists. First Henry wants a bike then he gets into some trouble. He gets stuck in a rose bush and no matter where or how he moves, he gets hurt or stuck in the rose bushes thorns more. While Henry is stuck in the bush, Ribsy is stealing Mr. Grumbie's steak and Ribsy is being chased by Mr. Grumbie. This reminds me of a time when my dog took my sisters hat and my sister chased her all around the house. I could smell the steak that Mr. Grumbie was cooking (it smelt pretty bad, to many seasonings.)

One thing I'm confused about, is Ribsy even going to eat the steak, because before Mrs. Grumbie said that not even a starving hippo would eat that steak. But I think that he will eat it any way.


Now I'm going to tell you the reasons I like this book.


1. It is funny

2. It has some adventure

3. The 2 friends have a problem that the want/have to fix

4. Did I mention that it was funny

SB --
What makes this book funny, in your opinion? What are some things that Beverly Cleary does to make it humorous? I'm full of questions tonight! Why did Henry want a bike and how did that lead to him getting into trouble?
