Publisher Description

Newbery Medal winner Beverly Cleary tells the story of a boy with a goal—and the girl who helps him achieve it.

Well-meaning Henry Huggins would do anything to get the bike of his dreams. But every idea he has keeps falling flat. Selling bubble gum on the playground gets him in trouble with his teacher. There’s the paper route, but Henry’s dog Ribsy nearly ruins that with his nose for mischief.

Even pesky little Ramona Quimby manages to get in the way of Henry’s chance at a bike. But it’s with the help of his best friend Beezus that there may be a way. After all—with a friend by your side, anything is possible.

Don't miss the beloved classic Henry Huggins books from Beverly Cleary. Boys and girls alike will be charmed instantly by an average boy whose life is turned upside down when he meets a lovable puppy with a nose for mischief. These are truly classics that stand the test of time and still leave readers 7-13 smiling.

"My girls loved listening to the two Beverly Cleary stories so far. They are so fun and entertaining. I read them a chapter a night while they went to sleep for a while. It's nice that there are less than 10 chapters in each book. On to the next one! "

Quotes

  • “A very funny sequel to Henry Huggins.” 

    — Chicago Tribune
  • “[William Roberts’] smooth, articulate British voice seems to have a serious tone, but he’s fully able to deliver Henry and Beezus’ escapades with style.” 

    — AudioFile
  • “More Henry Huggins and just as good or better. A minor classic of a today’s Tom Sawyer…This for our money is infinitely preferable to the somewhat sticky fantasy of some of today’s juveniles. There’s the kind of adventure with which any small boy could identify himself.”

    " Not as good as some of the other Henry/Beezus books, and this was a British version with no Louis Darling illustrations, so the reading experience was a bit diminished. "

    " What I loved most about Ramona, Beezus, Henry, and the rest of Beverly Cleary's children was how real their fears and joys and neuroses seemed to be - and how easily readers could identify with them. I can't wait to give my kids these books. "

About Beverly Cleary

Beverly Cleary (1916–2021) was an American author of highly acclaimed fiction for children and young adults, including the Henry Huggins series, Ramon Quimby series, stand-alone novels, picture books, and two memoirs. Some of her many awards include the Newbery Medal, the Laura Ingalls Wilder Award, and the National Medal of Arts. She was born in McMinnville, Oregon, and lived on a farm in Yamhill, a town so small it had no library. Her mother arranged to have books sent to their tiny town from the state library and acted as a librarian in a room over a bank. It was there that she learned to love books. Generations of children have grown up with Ramona Quimby, Henry Huggins, Ralph Mouse, and all of their friends, families, and assorted pets. Her books continue to capture the hearts and imaginations of children of all ages throughout the world.
