Henry Huggins

About the Book

A Henry le parecía que a él jamás le pasaba nada interesante.Pero desde el momento en que un perro suelto en la farmacia le rogó que le diera el barquillo de helado que se estaba comiendo, y se lo, tragóde un golpe, todo cambió. A Henry se le ocurrió que un perro tan flaco y con tanta hambre como éste necesitaba un hogar. Le puso de nombre Ribsy (“ribs” quiere decir costillas), le pidió permiso por teléfono a su mamá para quedarse con él, y empezó uno de los años más emocionantes de su vida.

La primera aventura fue la de llevar al perro a su casa. Henry logró meterlo en el autobús después de varios intentos fallidos, pero para entonces Ribsy estaba harto de estar metido en una bolsa de papel. El perro arañó y arañó hasta que se escapó, y el autobús se convirtió en un verdadero manicomio.

Los libros infantiles realmente divertidos son muy escasos y difícilesde hallar. Por eso, cuando aparece uno como Henry Huggins, se hace clásico. La Sra. Cleary tiene un intenso sentido del humor y conoce íntimamente a los niños, lo cual hace una combinación irresistible.

Beverly Cleary

Biography

Beverly Cleary is one of America’s most beloved authors. As a child, she struggled with reading and writing. But by third grade, after spending much time in her public library in Portland, Oregon, she found her skills had greatly improved. Before long, her school librarian was saying that she should write children’s books when she grew up.

Instead she became a librarian. 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. She based her funny stories on her own neighborhood experiences and the sort of children she knew. And so, the Klickitat Street gang was born!

Mrs. 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. Dear Mr. Henshaw won the Newbery Medal, and Ramona Quimby, Age 8 and Ramona and Her Father have been named Newbery Honor Books. Her characters, including Beezus and Ramona Quimby, Henry Huggins, and Ralph, the motorcycle-riding mouse, have delighted children for generations.
