One day in late August Henry Huggins had an idea. His father would be going salmon fishing next month and Henry decided it was about time he went along. He could see himself having his picture taken with a big fish and hear people saying. "Yes, this is Henry Hug- gins, the boy who caught the enormous Chinook salrnon." Somehow, though, Henry's dog Ribsy became involved in the affair. If Henry saw to it that Ribsy behaved himself and did not annoy the neighbors, Mr. Huggins promised he would take Henry fishing. Nothing to it, thought Henry. If he watched Ribsy every minute. he couldn't get into trouble. Or could he?

This is the uproarious story of how Ribsy, and inevitably Henry, could get into trouble and did. When Henry got permission to sit in his father's car while it was elevated above the lubrication pit, how could he have known Ribsy would seize the opportunity to steal a policeman's lunch? When Henry got mixed up in the family's garbage op- erations, how could he have {oreseen that Ribsy would suddenly consider the garbage collector his enemy? The worst trouble of all developed when Ribsy, though practically innocent, incurred the anger of all the ladies in the Parent- Teachers Association. That incident, Huggins fans will be glad to know, centers around Ramona, the young but far from innocent sister of Henry's friend Beezus.

The last chapter, which tells about Henry's harrowing yet glorious expe- riences when he actually did get to go fishing, supplies the perfect finishing touch for a story which certainly is Mrs. Cleary's masterpiece to date. Louis Darling, who agrees With us, has pro- vided rib-tickling illustrations that are nothing short of inspired.

Work Description

Henry and Ribsy is the third book in the Henry Huggins series of humorous children's novels written by Beverly Cleary. Henry's dad has promised to take him salmon fishing on one condition – he has to keep his dog Ribsy out of trouble for two months. That's not easy to do, especially when Ramona Quimby gets involved. First published in 1954, Henry and Ribsy was originally illustrated by Louis Darling.
