What to expect

Henry and his big dog, Mudge, love getting invitations, because invitations usually mean “cake.” So when Henry’s cousin Annie invites them to a family reunion, they can’t wait to go meet lots of new relatives. The only thing Henry is not looking forward to are the million sloppy kisses he might get.

 

With a new Frisbee (for Annie), a tennis ball (for Mudge), and a paper towel (for Henry to wipe off all those sloppy kisses), Henry and his parents set off for the reunion. But will all those relatives on the porch, in the yard, and even in the trees at Annie’s house be nice enough to understand Mudge—and dog drool?

 

Cynthia Rylant’s delightful Henry and Mudge books teach children warm lessons about family and friendship, while charming parents with their gentle humor.

 

“Warm, loving, and gently philosophical, these stories … deserve a place in every library collection.”—Kirkus Reviews
