Relation In Pursuance Of Books The Stray
I hunted down for this book. While fixing all the childrens books I had when I was young, all I could think of was finding this one. I was so saddened when I found out I didn't have it! I asked my friends, but none seemed to have kept theirs! I went to the National Bookstore in Greenhills and lo and behold! I found it! What more, it was discounted! I guess today's generation aren't that fond of Dick King-Smith. Their loss! I wrote this review last night after I finished reading it, by the way.03-08-11, 11:30PM--
Aww! What a great story! The Stray teaches you about family and its importance. This book just really shows how important and how nice it would be if everyone had goodness and kindness in their hearts that they were willing to share with everyone around them.
In The Stray, we have Henny, an old woman, who's run away from home on her birthday. She goes off on a train to the first place she sees and somehow ends up meeting the Good family.
The Good family welcomed Henny into their lives with open arms, even if they knew very little to nothing about her. They were such good hosts to dear old Henny. Meanwhile, we have Henny, who was always very nice to everyone she meets and was always trying her to best to make everyone around her happy.
I was really touched and genuinely happy for Henny and the Good family during the end. I'm just really glad that Henny got her happy ending in the end. The ending really made me feel all warm and fuzzy. What a gift family and true friends are. If you have a family and good friends, then you are truly lucky. Just like how Henny was.

this is the cutest book... it's about a 75 year old lady who runs away from her "old people's home," as she calls it. so cute!! very easy reading but great story... I really liked it :)this book is a very good book i really like it alot
I think that the kid's liked this more than I did. Sweet story about a woman who runs away from her old folks home and is adopted by a lovely family It was sweet and a bit boring and a few more references to death than I desired for a bedtime storybook.
A sweet little book! 75-year-old Henny Hickathrift runs away from her old age home and with almost all of her funds buys a train ticket to the beach. She enjoys the sunny day, but as evening approaches she has no money left and nowhere to sleep. The she meets the five red headed Good children, who invite her home with them to spend then night. This turns into a beautiful friendship between the children and their parents and the lonely old woman. This will make a good discussion about growing old
I have a special attachment to this book. I bought it on holiday not long after it came out and read it obsessively. I'm not sure WHY I liked it so particularly, though it is good - the story's pretty simple, but it has some lovely little touches, like talking about Henny trying fruit gums for the first time. Anyway, I reread it yesterday, after spending months online trying to find out what it was called. It's still utterly charming. It's completely divorced from reality, of course, but I tend
If this is not my favorite children's book, it's at least one of the top 5. The first few times I "read" it, it was by listening to it on audio book with the best voices done by an excellent narrator. Those voices are now in my head, so I used them to the best of my ability while reading this to my 8 year old. Within a very short period of time, the other, older, children had gathered around and were begging me not to stop reading.
this book is a very good book i really like it alot
