Henry Huggins was usually happy, but today he felt awful. Miss Roop had chosen him to play the lead part in the Glenwood School Christmas operetta. That meant Henry would have to stand on stage in pajamas and be kissed by some dumb old eighth grade girl who was supposed to be his mother. All his friends would laugh at him. It was too horrible even to think about.
But Henry Huggins finds a way out of this predicament--and many others--with the help of his loyal dog Ribsy. Before he adopted Ribsey. Henfy used to wish for exciting things to happen. But how, with Ribsy around, Henry's hilarious adventures just don't seem to stop! --back cover
