Hardcover. Condition: Poor. Dust Jacket Condition: Poor. Louis Darling (illustrator). First Edition. First Edition Hardcover1964. The dust Jacket. The pages of this book are sharp and clean. No marks or bends etc. The dust jacket shows normal wear. Ironically, it looks as if a dog has chewed on this book. It's too random for it NOT to have been intentional, right? Anyway, the spine is strong and will hold. It's too bad the chew mark is in the upper left corner, otherwise I would have marked this book as Great. I'll mark it as poor though, even though I know you'll be happy with this book despite Ribsy chewing on it.

First edition of the third book in Cleary's classic Henry Huggins series. Octavo, original cloth, illustrated. Signed by Beverly Cleary on the title page. In very good condition. Illustrated by Lois Darling. Like most of the Henry Huggins books, the incidents in this book follow an ongoing plot line. In this case, Henry wants to go on a salmon-fishing trip with his father. However, Ribsy has been causing all manner of trouble for the family. For example, Ribsy tries to prevent the garbage man from taking away the trash because Ribsy thinks it belongs to Henry. Henry's father says that Henry can only come on the trip if he can keep Ribsy out of trouble for a month. Henry is able to do this, and Ribsy actually helps him catch an enormous Chinook salmon at the end of the day.
