This month, we celebrated the 75th anniversary of Beverly Cleary’s debut novel, Henry Huggins. The timeless tale follows an average boy whose life is turned upside down when he meets a lovable puppy with a nose for mischief. Cleary went on to write five more books about Henry and a spinoff series based on his beloved neighbors, Ramona and Beezus, that earned her two Newbery Honors.

Self discovery and bright beginnings
I still have my original copy of Henry Huggins from my childhood. It has been lovingly worn-down over time, but it is special.
I have that book (Henry Huggins) in my dad's collection from when he was a kid. Wow... 75 yrs!
I grew up binge reading all of her books! I loved Henry and Ribsy, and The Mouse and the Motorcycle - the one with the realistic-looking mouse on the cover with his little helmet, riding a motorcycle?! 😍 I could never say no to that little mouse hahaha I read that book more times than I can count 😂🐭🏍️
I loved these books when I was a kid ❤️
