More Henry Huggins

Andrew was writing out his spelling words today and one word is "tragic.". Here is our conversation about it...
Andrew - Mommy, what does tragic mean?
Me - It is something really awful and sad. Like if someone dies, that is tragic.
A - You know what else is tragic? The book Ribsy.
M - Why? Oh, is it because Ribsy is lost and can't get back home?
A - No. It's because the main character is hardly in the book.
M - Well, the book is all about Ribsy so he is the main character.
A - Henry Huggins is supposed to be in the book. It's a series!
M - I know but this one is only about Ribsy and since he's lost, he's not with Henry.
A - Well I was very disappointed Henry wasn't in it more. That's tragic.
