Henry and Mudge in Puddle Trouble, April 6, 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: Henry and Mudge in Puddle Trouble (Paperback)
In their third adventure, Henry and his big dog Mudge explore the wonders of Springtime. Henry learns forgiveness when Mudge eats something special to him. Mudge saves the day when a new dog threatens the special kittens next door. However, parents and children alike will love the puddle trouble Henry and Mudge get into. Henry's father's reaction to the muddy mess of the duo will make you want to enjoy Spring with such childlike abandon. These books are sure winners. Though classified as easy readers, they appeal to all ages.

Springtime fun with boy and dog, March 20, 2001
This review is from: Henry and Mudge in Puddle Trouble (Paperback)
Henry and his big dog Mudge are back in this wonderful 2nd addition to the ever-growing series. This time, spring has come, bringing with it spring flowers, giant puddles and new births.
Books in this series are excellent choices for emergent or beginning readers. The sentences are short and easy to read, and the illustrations practically tell the story by themselves. Like other Henry and Mudge books (H&M for short), this book is divided into chapters. In this case, each chapter represents a different story for our boy & dog team in springtime (in other H&M books the story is split up into chapters like regular books).
In the first book, H&M discover a beautiful flower that has sprung from the ground. That is, until Mudge eats it! In the second, the spring rains have made the world puddle-luscious and they're just perfect for jumping in (even for adults!!). In the final chapter, a neighborhood cat has her kittens, and Mudge acts as a kind of guardian/father to them when another neighborhood dog comes prowling around.
Henry & Mudge books are by far a favorite of both me the teacher and my students. They're about the simple happy pleasures of everyday that often we tend to overlook in the pursuit for the Next Big Thing To Do For Fun And Excitement. It isn't necessary to start with any one particular book, but once you start reading H&M, you'll want to keep reading them all!!

ANOTHER KEEPER, January 15, 2007
This review is from: Henry and Mudge in Puddle Trouble (Paperback)
These are such wonderful books about a boy named Henry and the frienship that he shares with his big 180 pound dog Mudge. Nice Illustrations and easy to understand stories. They are great books and my 9 year old nephew loved these when he was in second grade. I bought some of these for him when he was 7. Now my son Ramon who is 7 loves them too.
