Henry Reed is a series of five children's novels written by Keith Robertson (1914-1991) and illustrated by Robert McCloskey. The title character, Henry Reed, is the son of American diplomats stationed overseas, but for the summer he visits his maternal uncle in the small village of Grover's Corner, New Jersey, where his mother grew up. The only child near his age is Midge, a year younger than him and is the daughter of a Princeton research scientist. The books are written as though it is Henry writing in his journal, and his straight-laced recital of what happened that day reflects his lack of understanding what chaos his actions caused.The series should not be confused with the British poet or several other real life people with the same name.The five books are: Henry Reed Inc. (1958) Henry Reed's Journey (1963) Henry Reed's Babysitting Service (1966) Henry Reed's Big Show (1970) Henry Reed's Think Tank (1986)

Brownface: in the second book, Henry and Midge are painted to look like Indians so that they can participate with the Indians in the parade.

Not Allowed to Grow Up
 Henry Reed / int_5f9fbd83
comment
Not Allowed to Grow Up: the first four books take place over three consecutive summers, and Henry and Midge age realistically (Henry from thirteen to fifteen, Midge a year younger). Enter the fifth book, written years later, and their ages are rebooted back.

The Bus Came Back: the Apples were not mentioned in the 2nd book, and in the third they are said to have moved away and it is a different family in their house. The Apples returned in the fourth book.
