Description
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.

Although Beverly Cleary and Sara Pennypacker are best known for their funny and empathetic early chapter about the everyday lives of elementary schoolers -- including their irrepressible heroines Ramona and Clementine -- both multi-talented authors have made forays into heartfelt animal fantasy and realistic books for older readers. -- Rebecca Honeycutt
Both titans in realistic fiction were among the first to pen fast-paced, funny stories starring relatable kids with less-than-perfect daily lives. Unlike Judy Blume, Beverly Cleary also writes some animal fantasy and does not write for adults. -- Autumn Winters
Some of the most endearing, enduring animal characters in children's book history were created by American authors Beverly Cleary and E.B. White. While both wrote in varying styles, for a range of age groups, each was distinctly gifted at writing amusing, feel-good animal stories that sensitively balance whimsy and reality. -- Rebecca Honeycutt
Focusing on friendships, family dynamics, and challenges at school, the slice-of-life chapter book series by each of these prolific authors may be relatable to many young readers. Karen English's books feature a contemporary setting and a more inclusive cast of characters than Cleary's older, classic books. -- Rebecca Honeycutt
Warmth and humor suffuse the middle-grade fiction of both Beverly Cleary and Kevin Henkes. Their characters (whether human or animal) are typically spunky and likable. Henke's writing is often quieter than Cleary's more attention-grabbing style, but both authors are known for books that are accessible and deeply sympathetic to the emotional experiences of kids. -- Rebecca Honeycutt

Horn Book Review
The original illustrations by the incomparable Louis Darling are back in six reissued titles, each with a foreword by a contemporary children's book creator. In his foreword to Henry and the Paper Route, Jeff Kinney notes that Darling's illustrations helped "cement...their status as modern classics." Marla Frazee, in Henry and Beezus, calls Darling's "uncanny ability to draw the human form with such accuracy, fluidity, and charm" unparalleled. [Review covers these titles: Henry and Beezus, Henry and Ribsy, Henry and the Clubhouse, Henry and the Paper Route, Henry Huggins, and Ribsy.] (c) Copyright 2019.
