Customer Reviews

Another great adventure with Henry and Mudge!

My 1st grader loves reading Henry and Mudge books. The charming water color and ink pictures--and the realistic kid adventures--create an engaging experience for early readers. The author does an almost magical job relaying the fears, temptations and ambitions of childhood. Also, many kids can identify with Henry's passionate love for his big dog, Mudge. Plus, this series will appeal to both boys and girls. The series is at the 1st grade reading level. This book is a "chapter" book (not a "baby" book) with 3 Chapters, and about 40 pages of half text, half artwork. (Just to give you an idea of the reading level, the Henry and Mudge books are easier than Magic Tree House, but harder than the advanced Bob books.) This particular book is about Henry's adventures when he visits a farm. It's got a great pro-vegetable and fruit message, and it's a cute review of farm/animal vocabulary words. At the end, there is a silly, slightly scary chase scene: Henry and Mudge get chased by a goose. (They escape, don't worry!) Note: you might want to purchase Henry And Mudge First Book before this book or with this book. It introduces the characters used in the rest of the series. Enjoy! P.
