They can easily read it on their own, helping one another on the vocabulary, and they stay interested. Ribsy is one of Beverly Cleary's series on the children of Klikitat Street in Portland Oregon. All have asked to take it home to finish it. It is pure 50's childhood and very entertaining. I use this as an independent reading selection for groups of my fourth grade ESL students. If you're a teacher who is looking to keep your class occupied while you hone in on students with learning problems, then let them read any of this series and they will let you work with your group for a half hour without interruption. If you're looking for a good gift for a child in 3d, 4th or 5th grade, this is one.
I purchased this book for my daughter who loves reading Beverly Cleary books. I read her books, too, when I was little. I have purchased just about every book she has written.
My 7 year old grandson and I thoroughly enjoyed listening to Ribsy while driving. In fact my grandson would beg me to stay in the parked car once we were home so he could continue to listen. Of course I couldn't do that because I had to know what was happening next to Ribsy also. It's a delightful story for both young and slightly older ears.
Ribsy is an excellent story my girls enjoyed listening to. They like to hear stories more than once, and this is one I don't mind hearing repeated. The packaging of the CD set is made of paper and I don't think will last over time and use.
After lunch he lay at the back of the room with his nose on his paws, waiting for school to be out so that he could play with anyone who wanted to play with a friendly dog. Frawley picked it up and poked it into his mouth once more. One if the detail is when Ribsy got a bubble bath. The ladies of the club all gasped and applauded at him that he dropped his pipe.
They murmured. Eight hands and a whole bottle of bubble bath can make a lot of bubbles. Isn't that adorable. All the ladies laughed. Mrs. The girls screamed with pleasure as Ribsy found him surrounded by billows of bubbles that were rising higher and higher.Detail two.
Giving a dog a bath was fun, but was even more fun. Detail one. Who asked him to-except peanut-butter sandwiches. Ribsy runs all over looking for the Huggins` family car. Isn't that cute.
The second detail is when Ribsy when to all club for ladies. My conclusion. "Sit up boy. The main idea is Ribsy the dog was gotten himself hopelessly lost in huge shopping mall parking lot in a rainstorm. Just like a little old man." Detail three. The third detail is at the lunchtime Ribsy got in line and went to the cafeteria where he finished the sandwiches of those. These Ribsy would sniff and politely refuse.
Peanut-butter stuck to his teeth. I did like the book because; I don't like to read books. Joy folly sally and Lisa began to swish their hand in the water to make bubbles, lot of them. But if you do like to read I recommend this book for you. "Sit up Rags, "She directed. Obediently Ribsy sat up. It was a pleasant life of a dog.
