Brandon's Review
I like the book "Henry and Ribsy" because it is a great kid's story and a great fishing story. This book is about a kid named Henry and his dog Ribsy. Henry wants to go salmon fishing but his dog gets in a lot of trouble with the neighbors. Henry's dad tells him that if Henry can keep Ribsy out of trouble for two months, his dad will take him salmon fishing. Henry keeps his deal and keeps Ribsy out of trouble for two months. Henry, Henry's dad, and Mr.Grumbie are now going salmon fishing. Will Henry catch a salmon, or not? Read the book and find out. I think that people who like fishing and are kids about age 8-13 would like this book because it is a great fishing book with great details. This book is not a very difficult book to read, so if you have nothing to do one afternoon, pick it up.Henry and Ribsy Biggest and Greatest Adventure This story takes place in the present in September because in that year all of the people who like going fishing go. The story is important because is how Henry changes Ribsy behavior so he can go fishing with his dad.
This book is mostly about a kid named Henry and his dog Ribsy. Henry wanted to go salmon fishing with his dad because he is jealous that Scooter his best friend went fishing. Scooter got a salmon that weight 15 pounds. Henry is jealous so he says that he will go and get a chinook that weight 20-30 pounds. Then Henry ask his dad, but he said that he need to keep Ribsy out of trouble with the neighbors. The middle of the book is a lot of funny because Henry tried to get his teeth out because their already loose. Henry uses his dog to get them out. When his mom comes home from store she cuts Henry hair in a funny way.
In my opinion I like when Henry father says that he needs to take care of Ribsy to go salmon fishing with him. It is very funny story. I would recommend this book because it tells you how a father educates a child so he can go fishing with him. A child can learn how to take care of dogs like Ribsy in the story.
