It was good because Henry went to Granny’s house with Hugo.

I think the book was good because Hugo, the main character went out of his way to look after Henry, his dog. Care of Henry is fiction and I liked uncle Jack the most because he is funny and He has a cook book for after the pub. The book interested me because the title has my name in it. I definitely would recommend it to someone else because it made me laugh.

My favourite character was Henry because he knew what Hugo was talking about and he was grateful for Nana. I learnt that sometimes you have to follow your heart.

It was a fun and friendly story with lots of funny bits. My favourite character was the inspector. I would recommend this book to children who enjoy Anne Fine books.

It was a funny book. Mrs Mariposa's twins were silly and were trying to go on Hugo's lap. My favorite character was Henry because I like dogs in the stories. I would recommend the book to children in my class.

it's funny and exiting. Hugo's mother is expecting a baby and Hugo has a big decision to make.

This book is really funny. It was really short and I would recommend it for a quick read or for younger children.
