Henry and Beezus is another of Beverly Clearly's great books for children. Henry Huggins wants a bike. His friend Beatrice ("Beezus") Quimby is helping him to raise money for it - helped and hindered by Beezus's unpredictable little sister Ramona! The story begins with a really funny episode about Henry's dog, Ribsy, and a neighbour's barbeque. Then Henry becomes a bubble gum king - but things don't work out as he intended! Then - how can a dog get a parking ticket? Henry has to find out and get that sorted out! There are lots of other entertaining situations in this book. Henry has to face an auction - and even to eat dog food - before getting his bike in the most amazing and funny way anyone can imagine!This is one of the Henry Huggins stories - but now we are really getting to know Beezus and Ramona, and there are lots more great books to follow starring them. Read all these books in Beverly Cleary's Klickitat Street saga - and enjoy!

The second book in the Henry Huggins series, is about a boy wanting a bike.Henry Huggins wants a new bike above anything else. Some funny moments in this book, is when Ribsy is giving a parking ticket. When Henry finds boxes of gum and starts selling it at school, to add to his bike fund. My favorite moment is when Beezus and Ramona try to help Henry buy a used bike, the results were not what Henry had in mind. The ending is happy and satisfying.

Henry Huggins. Quintessential boy. I was with him all the way until he ate that dog food. Henry Huggins. Quintessential boy.

Fair warning - this book is set in the 1950's, so Henry will come across as really sexist/misogynistic sometimes, but this is still a solid Beverly Cleary book.

Want to do a reread so will review at that time.

I definitely enjoyed rereading Henry and Beezus. Unlike the Ramona series, I've only read the Henry Huggins books once or twice. Henry Huggins, our hero, really, really wants a bicycle. His parents can't afford to give him one, and, he doesn't expect it of them. He doesn't feel entitled to it. If only there was a way to earn enough money to buy it himself. "Henry and The Roast." Readers meet Henry and Ribsy, learn of his great desire for a bicycle, and witness Ribsy steal a roast from the neighbor's barbecue. Readers also meet Henry's nemesis: Scooter, a boy with a bicycle and a paper route. A boy who happens along just in time to "save the day" or save the roast and save Ribsy from a dog fight. "Henry Gets Rich." Henry discovers abandoned boxes of gumballs. He needs Beezus' red wagon to carry them back home. But borrowing the wagon means getting Beezus and Ramona to tag along with him. "Ramona," coaxed Beezus, "can't you play that game some other time?""What game?" asked Henry. He couldn't see that Ramona was playing any game. "She's playing she's waiting for a bus," explained Beezus.Henry groaned. It was the dumbest game he had ever heard of. "Doesn't she know it isn't any fun just to sit on a box?" he asked, looking nervously up and down the street. If only he could be sure no one else had discovered his gum!"Sh-h," whispered Beezus. "She thinks it's fun and I don't want her to find out it isn't. It keeps her quiet." Then she said to her little sister, "If you get in the wagon, Henry and I'll pull you and you can pretend you're riding on the bus." (40)Henry thinks the gum a great discovery. He can even sell it to all his friends and classmates. He can make some money for his bike fund. But the teachers aren't happy about all the gum. (Neither are the janitors). And he finds it increasingly hard to sell gum after the first day or two. Maybe the gum wasn't such a wonderful discovery after all."The Untraining of Ribsy" Henry has the opportunity to take over Scooter's paper route for a week. A dollar will help his bike fund that's for sure. But can he stop Ribsy from "stealing" papers on the route? Beezus and Ramona make an appearance in this chapter as well. In fact, it is Ramona who accidentally provides a solution. "Henry Parks His Dog" and "Beezus Makes A Bid" Henry, Beezus, and Ramona go to a police auction. Henry's trying to buy a bicycle at the auction with his $4.04. (He had to spend a dime to buy Ramona a snack. He didn't want to stop at the store and "park his dog" outside, but, he had to do something to get Ramona to behave.) Will he get a good deal? Or will all the kids tease him? "The Boy Who Ate Dog Food" Everyone is excited about the grand opening of Colossal Market. There will be prizes and free samples. Henry and his parents go. As do Beezus and her family, I believe. (I think all the neighbors go.) Henry is lucky and unlucky. He wins something. But the prize, at first, feels very unlucky. He won $50 of work at a BEAUTY SALON. He doesn't need manicures, waves, and facials. Everyone is laughing. Which leads him to accept a dare to eat dog food. But then he realizes that he can SELL his prize and get the money for what he wants most...

I think this was our favorite so far of the Henry Huggins stories. The kids laughed out loud at several points in the story. Ramona's hijinks were more funny than annoying (to us anyway!) and Henry's adventures were at the same time ordinary and just a touch past what the kids have experienced. A lifetime supply of bubblegum! A dog that learned his trick a little too well and also gets a parking ticket.And of course, the gem that still comes up in conversation at times: "There goes the boy that ate the dog food."We loved it!

Henry Huggins, Henry and Beezus, Henry and Ribsy, Henry and the Paper Route, Henry and the Clubhouse, and Ribsy – I was quite happy to listen to this collection of books! It was quitespecial to listen to Beverly Cleary introduce the book and honestly loved listening to Neil Patrick Harris narrate most of the stories. What a treasured character I just love remembering from childhood. I’m happy that I’ve been able to introduce my son to Henry Huggins, perfect for his age and life experiences from dealing with pushy kids to losing teeth to loving dogs to taking on responsibility.

There is no better comfort re-read than Beverly Cleqry, so being home sick I have been burrowing deep in the heart of Klickitat Street. Sometimes Henry's dismissal of his loyal friend Beezus is unselfconsciously sexist and annoying, but mostly the story of a boy who is trying to earn enough money for a bicycle with his friends' help remarkably undated. Also introduces the inimitable Ramona Quimby, who immediately steals any scene she is in.

I love how delighted Ellery gets every time Beezus & Ramona are mentioned in the Henry books. We also love how Cleary always puts seemingly innocuous details about something into the story only to have said detail be the solution to Henry's problem or thing that saves the day. I've said it before & I'll say it again: Beverly Cleary is a national treasure.
