Henry and Beezus
Henry and Beezus | Beverly Cleary
5 posts | 17 read
For the well-meaning Henry Huggins, nothing ever works out quite as planned—including getting the bike of his dreams. Luckily his pal Beezus Quimby is there to help! Henry's attempts at raising money for his bike fund keep falling flat. Selling bubble gum on the playground gets him in trouble with his teacher, and then Ribsy's nose for mischief almost ruins Henry's paper route. Even pesky little Ramona Quimby manages to get in the way of Henry's chance at a bike. But no matter what, Henry can always count on reliable Beezus to stick by his side. Newbery Medal winner Beverly Cleary portrays a genuine friendship, while telling a very funny story boys and girls alike will enjoy.

Continuing with the nostalgia.. I like the cross-over between the Ramona books and Hmery Huggins. #30-2023

This has been my least favorite reread of the Henry/Ramona books. Henry works to raise money for a bike and mishaps ensue while beezus sticks by him. This one engaged in gender stereotypes that her books don‘t typically and there was more mean spirited teasing than I expected. That said my 6yo loved it and is ready to start the next. I still adore Cleary, this one just fell short for me.

As much as I like Cleary's stuff, this one is a bit dated and made me a little uncomfortable reading it. Henry really wants a bike but can't afford a new one, so he buys one at an auction with the help of Beezus, who accidentally bids on a girl's bike for him. Then follows much lamenting of the fact that he has a girl's bike and such. Plus, he complains a lot about having to hang out with girls and what a nuisance they can be.
