Henry Huggins	comment	Henry Huggins is a collection of children's book series written by Beverly Cleary, following the daily exploits of the titular character as he tries to find some excitement in his life, and often getting much more than what he bargained for.There are a total of six books in the series, including: Henry Huggins (1950) — 8-year old Henry is bored with his routine, and wishes for something exciting to happen. His desire is answered when he found Ribsy, a stray dog whom he later adopts. Since then, Henry's life was never the same, as Ribsy's colourful hijinks brings plenty of thrills to his daily life, for better or for worse. Henry and Beezus (1952) — Henry wants to get a bicycle of his own, but his parents are on tight budget and could not buy it for him. Determined to get a bike for himself, Henry attempts to hold various fund raising projects (such as selling bubble gum) to earn enough money for it. He is helped by his good friend, Beezus. Henry and Ribsy (1954) — Henry's father is planning to go for salmon fishing with their neighbor Mr. Grumby. He agrees to let Henry comes along on one condition: keep Ribsy out of trouble for two months. Although Henry thinks that he's got Ribsy under control, his father's challenge proves to be much harder than he thought it would be. Henry and the Paper Route (1957) — Henry, once again unsatisfied with his life, wants to accomplish "important things" and eagerly jumps at the chance when his friend Scooter informs him of a job opening as a paper boy. Henry believes that he's responsible enough for the job, having served as Scooter's substitute when the latter is otherwise unavailable, despite being technically too young for it, but perhaps the tasks required to handle his own paper route is really too much? Henry and the Clubhouse (1962) — Henry and his two friends Robert and Murphy want to build their own clubhouse, which they eventually decide to be a "boys only" club. But trouble soon hits their new club when Ramona Quimby decides that she wants to be a part of this whole affair. Ribsy (1964) — When Ribsy accidentally jumps into the wrong car while waiting for Henry as he and his family are shopping in the mall, he gets taken in by a different family who lives in another town. Thus, Ribsy's adventure to return to his owner begins.See also Ramona Quimby, which takes place in the same neighborhood, and serves as its Sequel Series.

Henry isn't against hanging out with the neighborhood girls, but he does frequently react with disgust if he sees Mary Jane act particularly girly. He doesn't mind Beezus as much (because Beezus is a Tomboy), even commending her as being "sensible, for a girl", but even then he's still not too comfortable to go out alone with her because she is a girl.

Henry accidentally solves the problem on Halloween when he scares Ranger with an owl on a stick. Ribsy also kicks in on this when Henry's parents task him with taking out the trash. Turns out Ribsy decides this means Henry owns the trash and defends it from the garbage men who come to collect it.

Within a few pages, their numbers have increased to about a thousand — his bed room becomes full of guppy jars, and he had to spend all of his free time and pocket money to take care of them. By the time he returns them to the shop, he finds out they're worth seven dollars in store credit, which is enough to buy a catfish tank while his father buys a catfish.

She runs up the jungle gym, crying because she wants P.T.A., and Ribsy follows her, wanting his bone back. Several of the P.T.A. mothers come outside and immediately assume Ribsy is a mean dog who has chased Ramona up the jungle gym and trapped her there. They almost call the pound to take Ribsy away until Miss Mullen, the school principal, hears Henry out and gives him a chance to explain that Ribsy isn't trying to bite Ramona and he just wants his bone.

Henry Huggins / int_d7fc9fd0	type	Vitriolic Best Buds
Henry Huggins / int_d7fc9fd0	comment	Vitriolic Best Buds: Henry and Scooter McCarthy. Being older than the rest of Henry's group, Scooter often belittles Henry and especially Ribsy. Most of them are in jest, of course, and Scooter actually came to Ribsy's defense when his previous owner tried to take him back at the end of book 1, and would trust Henry to do his paper route when he's otherwise unavailable.

Henry Huggins / int_da0eeab5	comment	Breakout Character: In Henry's story, Ramona Quimby plays a minor role as Beezus's Annoying Younger Sibling, but becomes so popular that she was given her own series that would overshadow this one.

Henry Huggins / int_e326851f	comment	Unsuccessful Pet Adoption: When Henry buys two guppies, they reproduce like crazy and he feels he has to sell them all because guppies give live birth and he can't tell which ones might be pregnant.

Henry Huggins / int_f25493f4	comment	Nothing Exciting Ever Happens Here: Most of the books would open with Henry getting bored with his life, then follows the funny shenanigans that he encounters when he finally found something interesting to pursue.

Henry Huggins / int_f627b434	type	Platonic Life-Partners
Henry Huggins / int_f627b434	comment	Platonic Life-Partners: Henry and Beezus are very close friends and the two often visit each other's house to play checkers. Aside from Ribsy and his parents, Beezus is shown to be the one Henry hangs out the most with, even though Robert is supposed to be his best friend instead of her. In Henry and the Paper Route the school kids tease them about their relationship when Beezus defends Henry from Scooter, but nothing ever comes out of this, and by the time the Ramona series rolls around, it's implied that they've drifted apart.

Henry Huggins / int_fabd6906	comment	Everytown, America: In effect. The series takes place in Portland, Oregon, mostly on Klickitat Street — but it's written as a peaceful, suburban district where everyone knows everyone, real conflicts are scarce, and nothing much ever happens.
