Editor's Notes and Comments:
Product Description:
Henry Huggins feels that nothing very interesting ever happens to him. But from the moment a stray dog in the drugstore begs for a taste of his ice-cream cone and downs it in one gulp, everything is different. Henry names the dog Ribsy and decides to keep him. Before Henry even reaches home with Ribsy he spends all of his money, gets kicked off three buses, and enjoys a hair-raising ride in a police car. And that's only the beginning of Henry's exciting new life!
Amazon.com Review:
Nothing ever happens to Henry Huggins. Nothing, that is, until a stray dog named Ribsy comes into his life. Pretty soon, Henry and Ribsy are wreaking havoc on the city bus, getting a ride in a police car with sirens wailing, and winning a prize at the dog show. Thanks to their joint shenanigans, Henry finds himself covered in purple paint one day, and later accidentally colors Ribsy's fur pale pink. One week, Henry catches earthworms for his fisherman neighbor to raise money for a borrowed ball Ribsy helped him lose. One football costs a lot of earthworms--1,395, to be exact. Plus 41 worms for tax. Life is no longer dull.
Beverly Cleary's lively, award-winning books virtually shout 'good, old-fashioned fun!' Since 1950, Henry and his friends (found in Beezus and Ramona and Newbery Honor Book Ramona and Her Father, among others) have displayed all the mixed-up emotions and tricky jams kids everywhere seem to experience. Henry's action-packed days are captured in droll line drawings by Louis Darling. Luckily for young readers, there are dozens of Cleary books to explore as soon as this one is devoured. (Ages 8 to 12) --Emilie Coulter

Henry Huggins, Written by Beverly Cleary, is a book about a dog and a boy.
Henry finds a dog and he wants to keep it. So he brought it home. He washed it and called it Ribsy. He was so skinny you could see his ribs. That's why Henry called him Ribsy.
What I liked about liked about this book is that Henry and Ribsy were best friends. Also that this story is about a dog and a boy. Each chapter is different and different things happen.
The author's message is that a person and an animal can be best friends. I recommend this book if you love animals. It was my favorite book.

The Beverly Cleary books are great for kids. They show independent children and normal families. In the books are ordinary stress levels, pressure, respect, and consideration. The parents are loving and well-adjusted.
It doesn't get much better than this, especially in the first-and-second-grade boys' categories.
There are lots of worthwhile books with girl heroines, but these Henry Huggins books shine for boys.

This sample only shows the introduction! Where's the chapter 1? This sample needs to be extended; there's no storyline.

I have a number of Ramona CD's so thought I'd venture out into Henry Huggins. As much as I love Ramona, this Henry CD is the best, due in part to the voice of Neil Patrick Harris. My son loves to listen to a CD every night before going to bed, and he requests this one more often than any other. It's amazing to think that Beverly Cleary's book, written 50 years ago, can still appeal to youngsters today. It's timeless. Thank you Beverly Cleary!

I started reading the Henry Huggins books to my son when he was 5 years old. We read a chapter every night and my husband would come in to see what was going on because we were laughing so much! When Henry's mom gave him a home haircut, we cried we laughed so hard. My son is now 22 years old, and he still has his Henry Huggins books. He is saving them for when he has children of his own. I highly recommed these books and anything by Beverly Cleary. Reading with your children is such a joy and these books bring back the wonderful memories that my son and I made while hanging out with Henry and Ribsy.
