Henry and the Paper Route

Henry is a young boy anxious to prove that he is responsible enough to have his very own paper route. He yearns to earn his own money and deliver papers around his neighborhood like the older boys do. Henry is given a glimpse into what it’s like to have a paper route when another boy has Henry cover his own route for the day. Henry must prove to his parents and potential boss that he can juggle schoolwork, family matters, a paper route, and the neighborhood pest Ramona Quimby. He does all of this and more in this charming story!

This book would make an outstanding addition to a classroom library. Ideally, the entire series would be included so students could become familiar with the collection. It is a wholesome, entertaining story that boys and girls alike can enjoy.
