Henry Huggins Complete Collection by Beverly Cleary
3.0
I really liked this "boy and his dog story"'s lightheartedness. Unlike Shiloh or Old Yeller, Henry and Ribsy don't have to endure too much to stay together. It is just a fun romp with an "underdog" hero and his mutt.
In the introduction of the 50th anniversary edition Cleary explains that she had always wanted to write books and as a librarian discovered that there were few choices for children. And that is how she came to write Henry Huggins, so the boys and girls who came to the library could have a book that was about them for them. How wonderful.
