Her characters, including Beezus and Ramona Quimby, Henry Huggins, and Ralph, the motorcycle-riding mouse, have delighted children for generations. Henshaw won the Newbery Medal, and Ramona Quimby, Age 8 and Ramona and Her Father have been named Newbery Honor Books. Cleary's books have earned her many prestigious awards, including the American Library Association's Laura Ingalls Wilder Award, presented to her in recognition of her lasting contribution to children's literature. Henry Huggins is about Henry and his dog Ribsy (Ribs for short.) Henry finds Ribsy in front of a drugstore. And so, the Klickitat Street gang was born! She based her funny stories on her own neighborhood experiences and the sort of children she knew.
When a young boy asked her, "Where are the books about kids like us?" she remembered her teacher's encouragement and was inspired to write the books she'd longed to read but couldn't find when she was younger. Before long, her school librarian was saying that she should write children's books when she grew up. Thats not easy to do, especially when Ramona Quimby gets involved. Henrys dad has promised to take him salmon fishing on one condition he has to keep his dog Ribsy out of trouble for two months. But by third grade, after spending much time in her public library in Portland, Oregon, she found her skills had greatly improved. Henry and Ribsy is the third book in the Henry Huggins series of humorous childrens novels written by Beverly Cleary.
As a child, she struggled with reading and writing. A Cleary staple, the book is a entertaining boy and his dog story that resonates with all children in various locales. Beverly Cleary is one of America's most beloved authors. Henry and Ribsy was written by famed author Beverly Cleary in 1954.
