![]() Luckily for young readers, there are dozens of Cleary books to explore as soon as this one is devoured. Henry's action-packed days are captured in droll line drawings by Louis Darling. 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. One football costs a lot of earthworms-1,395, to be exact. One week, Henry catches earthworms for his fisherman neighbor to raise money for a borrowed ball Ribsy helped him lose. Thanks to their joint shenanigans, Henry finds himself covered in green paint one day, and later accidentally colors Ribsy's fur pale pink. 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. ![]() ![]() ![]() Nothing, that is, until a stray dog named Ribsy comes into his life. ![]()
