Editorial Reviews

From Booklist

PreS-K. The physicality of the boy's connection with his dog is the story in this book, part of the Ready-to-Read Puppy Mudge series for brand new readers. Henry wants to read, but Mudge wants to play. Mudge slobbers on Henry's book, tries to snuggle up, pulls off Henry's sock, and more, until, finally, Henry joins Mudge, and they play joyfully together. Rylant's simply language and Stevenson's active, unaffected pictures show and tell Henry's delight in both his book and his pesky, beloved pet. Every child will want such a wonderful nuisance.
