The part of third grade Ellen Tebbits likes most is having Austine Allen for her best friend.

Separated from his owner, Henry Huggins, in a shopping center parking lot, an ordinary city dog begins a string of bewildering adventures.

When Henry adopts Ribsy, a dog of no particular breed, humorous adventures follow.

Fiery Ramona Quimby and the well-meaning Henry Huggins may clash, but in this delightful and hilarious novel by Newbery Medal–winning author Beverly Cleary, it's an unlikely compromise that wins the day. Henry and his friends are building a no-girls-allowed clubhouse. With a private space of their own away from everyone else-and even a top secret entry password-they're all thrilled with their boy fort. But Henry's about to find out that nothing-not...

Henry's willing to try anything to be a paper boy, but nothing works.
