Henry and Ribsy
Henry and Ribsy | Beverly Cleary
5 posts | 26 read | 1 to read
In this humorous and heartfelt novel from Newbery Medal-winning author Beverly Cleary, the bond between a boy and his dog proves strong, as Henry vows to stick up for Ribsy even if he is a trouble-maker!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 he can go along 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!"

Third stop in the trip down nostalgia lane. Ribsy is a ton of trouble, but really what dog who belongs to an 11 year old boy isn't? #31-2023

My children‘s shelf before it was boxed up. I had just completed my Henry and Ribsy collection. So sad about Beverly‘s passing.

Today's a good day to spend time with old friends. Thank you for everything, Beverly Cleary! You made such a difference in my life and countless others. 💙

batsy What a lovely collection! I've never read her books and feel like I've missed out. 3y
quietjenn @batsy They are so delightful, even for grown-ups 😀 I wish I had all the copies from my childhood, but I am fond of this collection! 3y
rubyslippersreads @batsy I had only read a couple of her teenage books (as an adult). I‘ll have to read some of the Ramona books. 3y

Henry must keep Ribsy out of trouble so they can go salmon fishing with his father. This of course results in Ribsy getting into well-intentioned trouble. I don‘t love the henry books as much as the ramona books, but it was still fun. Ramona starts to take on her role as a pest - and you get to see her and Beezus from an outside perspective. This series came first and you can see how Cleary‘s writing and ideas evolved. #readaloud
