Synopsis

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.

A propos du livre

À propos des auteurs

Beverly Cleary is one of America's most beloved authors. As a child, she struggled with reading and writing. But by third grade, after spending much time in her public library in Portland, Oregon, she found her skills had greatly improved. Before long, her school librarian was saying that she should write children's books when she grew up.

Instead she became a librarian. When a young boy asked her, "Where are the books about kids like us?" she remembered her teacher's encouragement and was inspired to write the books she'd longed to read but couldn't find when she was younger. She based her funny stories on her own neighborhood experiences and the sort of children she knew. And so, the Klickitat Street gang was born!

Mrs. Cleary's books have earned her many prestigious awards, including the American Library Association's Laura Ingalls Wilder Award, presented to her in recognition of her lasting contribution to children's literature. Dear Mr. Henshaw won the Newbery Medal, and Ramona Quimby, Age 8 and Ramona and Her Father have been named Newbery Honor Books. Her characters, including Beezus and Ramona Quimby, Henry Huggins, and Ralph, the motorcycle-riding mouse, have delighted children for generations.

Louis Darling was an illustrator, writer, and environmentalist who was born and lived most of his life in Connecticut. His illustrations filled the pages of Beverly Cleary’s books until his death in 1970. His work is celebrated and immortalized by generations of fans.

À propos de la quatrième de couverture

Louis Darling was the very first illustrator to give the world of Beverly Cleary a face. His renderings of the Klickitat Street adventures became a gateway to imagination and the joy of reading for generations of children. Now, more than sixty years later, his illustrations once again grace the pages of classic stories by Beverly Cleary. With a foreword by New York Times bestselling author and illustrator Tom Angleberger, Henry and Ribsy will be enjoyed by a whole new generation of readers!

Ever since the day Ribsy walked into Henry Huggins’s life, the pup’s appetite for adventure has gotten him into all kinds of trouble. So when Henry asks his dad if Ribsy can go along on their big fishing trip, Mr. Huggins agrees, under one condition: the dog must learn to behave himself first.

Henry feels certain Ribsy can rise to the occasion. But his four-legged friend just can’t stop sniffing out scrapes. Whether terrorizing the garbageman or gobbling Ramona Quimby’s ice cream cone, Ribsy’s a handful . . . and it’s going to take all of Henry’s ingenuity to come up with a solution.
