Henry and Ribsy

One day in late August Henry Huggins had an idea. His father would be going salmon fishing next month and Henry decided it was about time he went along. He could see himself having his picture taken with a big fish and hear people say- ing, "Yes, this is Henry Huggins, the boy who caught the enormous Chinook salmon. " Somehow, though, Henry's dog Ribsy became involved. If Henry saw to it that Ribsy behaved himself and did not annoy the neighbors, Mr. Huggins promised he would take Henry fishing. Nothing to it, thought Henry. If he watched Ribsy every minute, he couldn't get into trouble. Or could he?

This is the uproarious story of how Ribsy, and Henry, could get into trouble and did.
