About the Book



Henry Huggins makes a deal with his father--if Henry can keep his dog Ribsy out of trouble for a month, he can go fishing with his father.



Book Synopsis



In this humorous and heartfelt novel from Newbery Medal-winning author Beverly Cleary, the bond between a boy and his dog proves strong, as Henry vows to stick up for Ribsy...even if he is a trouble-maker!

From the first moment Henry found Ribsy, the curious mutt was poking his nose into things he shouldn't be. Whether terrorizing the garbage man, chasing cats, or gobbling Ramona Quimby's ice-cream cone, Henry's four-legged pal has walked himself into one problem too many.

So when Henry asks his dad if he can go along on the big fishing trip, Mr. Huggins agrees, but on one condition: Ribsy must stay out of mischief for two whole months. Henry is confident in his loyal dog...until Ribsy goes overboard with his appetite for chaos--literally!

Don't miss the beloved classic Henry Huggins books from Beverly Cleary. These are truly timeless classics that stand the test of time and still leave readers 7-13 smiling.



From the Back Cover



Henry Huggins's dog, Ribsy, has been getting into all kinds of trouble on Klickitat Street: chasing the neighbors' cat, tearing up lawns, even stealing a policeman's lunch. So when Henry asks his dad if he can go along on the big fishing trip, Mr. Huggins agrees, on one condition: Ribsy has to learn to behave himself first.

Henry feels sure this will be easy--after all, Ribsy is a good dog at heart--but Ribsy can't seem to stop sniffing out scrapes. Whether he's terrorizing the garbageman or gobbling Ramona Quimby's ice cream cone, Ribsy's a handful--and it takes all of Henry's ingenuity to come up with a solution.

Beverly Cleary delivers a winning tale of a boy and his loyal best friend.



Review Quotes




"Genuinely funny." -- ALA Booklist

"Henry's audience is in for more laughs. Another Cleary hit!" -- Kirkus Reviews

"Ribsy complicates life as only a loyal, bumbling, well-intentioned mutt can. Few writers for children handle everyday comedy so briskly and realistically as Beverly Cleary." -- The New York Times
