For the well-meaning Henry Huggins, nothing ever works out quite as planned—including getting the bike of his dreams. Selling bubble gum on the playground gets him in trouble with his teacher, and then his dog Ribsy's nose for mischief almost ruins Henry's paper route. Even pesky little Ramona Quimby manages to get in the way of Henry's chance at a bike. But no matter what, Henry can always count on reliable Beezus to stick by his side, and she has an idea that just might work. From 1952, this second book in Beverly Cleary's series appears here with the original drawings by Louis Darling, and Marla Frazee contributes the foreword.
