Henry Huggins
Beverly Cleary❤️Loved getting to think on this question :) A 3rd book I recommended is any of the Ramona Quimby (or Henry Huggins) books of Beverly Cleary. Beverly Cleary is a joy & a tenderness to read & after 17 years with Portland, it still tickles driving past Klickitat Street in person. https://t.co/rmxrX1XZ9y
