I got my stepson to read it a few years ago. My favorite part was always when Henry, his father, and Mr. Grumby were in the little boat fishing. It always seemed so cozy to be bundled up in a little boat on the water in cold weather, eating sandwiches and hot soup, and then after his fight with the fish, getting wrapped up in the "autorobe". We live a long way from any chinook salmon, and don't get too much cold weather here on the Texas coast, but when the weather does get cold, I love taking the family out in our canoe on Galveston Bay, all bundled up, to catch seatrout and flounder. Aw, you gotta get your boy a dog! A boy's childhood is incomplete without a scruffy, friendly, and loyal mutt accompanying him on his adventures.Marknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4829223433007649672.post-25949383554934195342009-04-15T15:51:00.000-04:002009-04-15T15:51:00.000-04:00I just requested Ribsy on paperbackswap!
