Overview
This special edition of Henry and Ribsy features the original illustrations by Louis Darling--the first artist to ever render Henry, Ribsy, Ramona, and Beezus--as well as a foreword written by the New York Times bestselling author and illustrator of the Origami Yoda series, Tom Angelberger.
In this humorous and heartfelt novel from Newbery Medal-winning author Beverly Cleary, the bond between a boy and his dog proves unbreakable, as Henry vows to stick up for Ribsy...even if he is a troublemaker
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 his pup can join them 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
- Boy and His Dog: Henry loves his dog Ribsy more than anything. But when Ribsy's talent for trouble threatens a father-son fishing trip, Henry has just two months to prove his chaotic canine can behave.
- Hilarious Mischief: From stealing a policeman's lunch to "protecting" the family garbage from the garbageman, Ribsy's antics will have young readers laughing out loud.
- A Timeless Neighborhood: Step back onto Klickitat Street for a story full of familiar friends, including the one-and-only Ramona Quimby, who loses her ice cream cone to a very hungry dog.
- Perfect for Read Aloud: With short chapters and gentle humor, this classic from a Newbery Medal-winning author is a wonderful choice for family story time or for newly independent readers.
