Book Review and Writing: Old Henry

Old Henry Letters

By:Abigail and Manny 

The other day in class our teacher Mrs.Barnes read us a book called Old Henry. Then Mrs.Barnes told us to write Henry a letter back telling him whether we think he should come back to his house or stay away. This letter was supposed to be from the mayor or a townsperson. A whole bunch of people in our class enjoyed it. Oh, by the way, he moved to Dakota. A lot of people liked his character. But I, Manny, did not. From what I’ve heard about the same number have wanted for Henry to stay as the same wanted for Henry to come back to his house.

The book started off where Henry moved in to a old bad looking house, but Henry liked it. Then the people who lived in the neighborhood started to complain about how his house looked. The neighborhood then started to be nice to Henry and they helped him with chores. Henry said NO! Finally one day Henry left a letter at his door that told the viewers that he had left for Dakota. So after the book finished, Mrs. Barnes told us to write a letter to Henry to stay in Dakota or come back.

Would you tell Henry to stay or to come back?
