A bike goal, a string of mishaps, and help from Beezus

Henry Huggins has his sights set on a bicycle, but his attempts to earn the money keep running into trouble. Selling bubble gum at school brings consequences, and a paper route is complicated by Ribsy, his mischievous dog. Ramona also gets in Henry’s way, while his friend Beezus offers a hand. The bicycle quest links these everyday scrapes into a story about setting a goal, dealing with setbacks, and relying on a friend. Ribsy and Ramona add complications to Henry’s plans, making this a humorous tale built around the familiar business of trying to make something happen.

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.
