Ribsy
When Henry Huggins's dog Ribsy is left behind while the rest of the family goes on a shopping trip, he rebels and finds a way to join up with them. He then manages to find his way out of the vehicle, but then cannot find his way back in. When he is taken home by a family of strangers, this marks the beginning of Ribsy's grand adventure.
Newbery Medal-winning author Beverly Cleary gives Henry's dog, Ribsy, center stage in this dog's eye view of the adventure of a lifetime. This classic story about a dog and his boy is as fresh and funny as ever!
Good ol' Ribsy's ever-curious mind has always gotten him into trouble, but this time he may have gone too far. After a comical turn of events, Ribsy finds himself in the wrong station wagon with the wrong children.
Ribsy will do anything to find Henry, but there's plenty of excitement to be had along the way—and scoring a touchdown for a local high school team is only part of the fun!
For kids looking for a fast, funny dog story, Ribsy is a winner. This timeless favorite works well for independent reading.
Although Henry is friends with Beezus, Ramona and her sister make only a few appearances in this series. Henry Huggins is an active and resourceful boy who can spot a great deal and think of many ways to earn money. In this series, Henry finds a dog, avoids pestering by little neighborhood girls, yearns for a bicycle and tries to land a paper route job. If boys aren't interested by Beezus and Ramona, they are sure to be drawn into Henry's adventures.
