Our kids just love these books both for when we read them to them and for them to read later to us. I just wish they would create a series of books in one larger collection.
GREAT STORIES
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 17 years ago
My youngest son Ramon now 7 loves these books. He always likes to read them over and over again. The stories are easy to read and the illustrations are great. He loved this book too. We both love the story of the family reunion. Even my 14 year old son enjoys reading them with him. He says that these books are really cool for little kids. These were also big with my nephew Wyatt who is 9 and in the fourth grade when he was in the second grade. He always used to ask me Do you have any more Henry & Mudge books the next time you come over. He enjoyed them as well and has a bunch of them. Great books to be passed to and from families to be enjoyed.
Henry and Mudge and the Whole Family
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 20 years ago
As usual in this cheerful series, Henry and his big dog Mudge are featured in three related stories, this time about a family reunion. They receive a letter labeled "invitation." Henry loved invitations. Mudge loved them, too, because they usually meant cake. Much of the book's humor and warmth is structured by these boy-dog comparisons. Sucie Stevenson's pleasant watercolor and pen-and-ink drawings are loose, spacious, and casual. The story centers on old-fashioned extended family fun, but it is not quite as interesting or engaging as others in the series. Still, the portrayal of intergeneration and inter-species love is sweet. The publishers rate "Henry and Mudge in the Family Trees" as a "Level 2 Reading Together" book, and the book jacket says "Ages 6-8." Rylant and Stevenson have written many "Henry and Mudge" books, and you might want to explore some of their other books offered here.
A gem of a book for kids and parents alike
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 26 years ago
Stumbling upon the Henry and Mudge books was like stumbling upon a gold mine. My first grader and my preschooler absolutely love these books. This one is my personal favorite but every one of these adventures is wonderful. Rylant uses simple words so beautifully. I can't think of a better way for us to help our children learn to love reading than by giving them books that tell great stories in such well-written fashion. Although the stories are about a boy and his dog, they appeal to my daughters, neither of whom even like dogs (or boys, for that matter). Six and seven-year olds should be able to read them for themselves, and younger children will love to hear them read over and over. If you're looking for a great series of books for 4-7 year olds, check out all of the books in this series.
