About This Book
When, in second grade, Leigh writes to an author to tell him how much he
"licked" his book, he never suspects that he'll still be writing to him four
years later. And he never imagines the kinds of things he'll be writing about:
Dear Mr. Henshaw, I am sorry I was rude in my last letter... Maybe I was mad
about other things, like Dad forgetting to send this month's support payment.
Mom tried to phone him at the trailer park where, as Mom says, he hangs his hat.
It's not easy being the new kid in town, with recently divorced parents, no dog
anymore, and a lunch that gets stolen every day (all the "good stuff," anyway).
Writing letters, first to the real Mr. Henshaw, and then in a diary to a pretend
Mr. Henshaw, may be just what he needs.
This Newbery Medal-winning book, by the terrifically popular and prolific
Beverly Cleary (Ramona Quimby, Age 8 and Runaway Ralph), exhibits a subtlety and
sensitivity that will be appreciated by any youngster who feels lonely and
troubled during the transition into adolescence. Winner of numerous other
awards, including two Newbery Honors, Cleary teams up with Caldecott winner Paul
O. Zelinsky, who creates a quiet backdrop for the realistic characters. --Emilie
