Henry Huggins thinks that girls are a nuisance. He doesn't mind Beezus Quimby, though--at least Beezus (short for Beatrice) is a sensible girl. She's O.K., even if her pesky little sister, Ramona, always tags at her heels. Ramona is four, likes to play silly games, and is quite a pain, in Henry's opinion.
Still, Henry has to admit that even Ramona isn't so bad sometimes. She and Beezus know that Henry has his heart set on earning enough money to buy a bicycle , and they want to help him. He's cooked up some wild money-making schemes--like selling forty-nine boxes of bubble gum to his classmates, training his dog Ribsy to deliver papers and figuring out what to do with fifty dollars' worth of free permanent waves at a ladies' beauty salon. Henry does need all the help he can get!

Henry Huggins really wants his father to take him fishing -- especially since that obnoxious Scooter McCarthy keeps bragging about his big fishing trip. But Henry's dog Ribsy has been misbehaving lately -- everything from running off with the neighbor's barbecue roast to stealing a policeman's lunch. Mr. Huggins says there will be no fishing trip unless Henry can keep Ribsy out of trouble.
It won't be easy, but Henry is determined that Ribsy will stay on his best behavior. No chasing cats, no ripping up lawns...and no getting anywhere near little Ramona Quimby, whose name spells T-R-O-U-B-L-E!
