Henry and Mudge: The First Book

We loved Henry and Mudge right from the start. Mudge is not a talking or human like dog. He is all dog. Henry's loving parents feel sad that Henry doesn't have kids to play with or a pet and they give in and get him a tiny puppy, who grows and grows into a very large slobbering dog. In this first book, Mudge gets lost. Henry is inconsolable. My boy was very upset and crying about Henry and Mudge being separated. Frankly I was pretty upset about it myself. But when Henry instinctively follows Mudges trail and hollers one last time we were relieved that Mudge was nearby and came running. We see the grief and loss from both Henry and Mudge's perspective. When my dog got lost I wondered what he might be feeling, now I know.These stories are so warm and touching. We can feel the love in this family.
They are great boy books, but girls will enjoy them too.

Good classic book - CCGal - USA
This is a good series for 1st graders who are looking for small adventures with a loving friend.



Henry and Mudge: The First Book - M. Ford - Chicago
My five year old has been loving Henry and Mudge for months now and we have checked every one of them out of the local library. We finally decided we just had to know how the story all began and saw a reference to The First Book. We quickly ordered it and couldn't be more pleased. The story explains the beginnings of Henry's deep attachment to Mudge. These are wonderful books. I don't know anyone we have recommended them to who hasn't fallen in love with Henry and Mudge.



Funny and sweet - Erica - New Jersey
My sons adore Henry and Mudge. These books are fun for them to read, and the classic "boy and his dog" characters are very endearing, particularly big, drooly Mudge. Well-written and entertaining, this series is great for kids who think they don't like to read or who have trouble reading, because they're funny and easy enough so that the child won't get bored or frustrated trying to read it. A definite must-have for any kid's bookshelves.
