First sentence: HENRY HUGGINS stood by the front window of his square white house on Klickitat Street and wondered why Sunday afternoon seemed so much longer than any other part of the week.
Description: Henry Huggins thinks that girls are a nuisance. He doesn't mind Beezus Quimby, though--at least Beezus (short for Beatrice) is a sensible girl. She's O.K., even if her pesky little sister, Ramona, always tags at her heels. Ramona is four, likes to play silly games, and is quite a pain, in Henry's opinion.

Still, Henry has to admit that even Ramona isn't so bad sometimes. She and Beezus know that Henry has his heart set on earning enough money to buy a bicycle , and they want to help him. He's cooked up some wild money-making schemes--like selling forty-nine boxes of bubble gum to his classmates, training his dog Ribsy to deliver papers and figuring out what to do with fifty dollars' worth of free permanent waves at a ladies' beauty salon. Henry does need all the help he can get!
