Henry Reed, Inc. by Keith Robertson (1958)


Henry Reed comes to Grovers Corners, NJ to stay with his uncle and aunt. Hilarity and hijinks ensue. Henry is a hilarious, serious kid who gets into crazy, chaotic mishaps. Here, he starts a research business with neighbor Midge.  See also Henry Reed's Journey, when Henry travels across the country with Midge's family. Hilarity ensues.  And Henry Reed's Babysitting Service, where Henry starts a baby-sitting service with Midge. Again, hilarity ensues.  Also featuring great illustrations by Keith McCloskey.
