"Henry Huggins" is the debut book of the American writer Beverly Cleary, which was published in 1950 and immediately brought success to the author. Over the next 50 years, Cleary wrote about 30 more books and became, in the words of her young readers, "a real living classic." There are six stories in the book. In the first, Henry meets Ribsy and takes him home on the bus. Passengers will remember this trip for a long time. And Henry and Ribsy will be taken home by a police car. In the second story, Henry gets a guppy fish. Suddenly, the guppies begin to multiply at such a rate that they fill all the jars in the house and literally evict Henry from his room. In the third story, because of Henry, a brand new soccer ball of one mischievous boy is lost. A fisherman neighbor offers Henry to earn extra money, but in order to get the required amount, Henry will have to catch more than a thousand night crawls. In the fourth story, Henry gets the lead role in a Christmas operetta, and Henry is terribly unwilling to play it. He thinks of how to evade participation in the production, but none of his plans work. Chance helps to avoid shame... and Ribsy. In the fifth story, Henry shows Ribsy to a dog show. The dog is behaving badly. And Henry's hope of winning the silver cup is fading by the minute. In the sixth story, Ribsy and Henry's friendship is about to go through a serious test, as Ribsy's former owner shows up.
