Henry Huggins feels that nothing very interesting
ever happens to him. But from the moment a stray dog in the drugstore
begs for a taste of his ice-cream cone and downs it in one gulp, everything
is different. Henry names the dog Ribsy and decides to keep him. Before
Henry even reaches home with Ribsy he spends all of his money, gets
kicked off three buses, and enjoys a hair-raising ride in a police
car. And that's only the beginning of Henry's exciting new life!

of a boy's mind." -- Library Journal
