Henry and Mudge and a Very Merry Christmas: 25 (Henry & Mudge)

Henry & Mudge is a fun series for beginning readers. My grandson loved the book.

We love Henry and Mudge! The stories are simple to read and very endearing.

It’s easy reading and cute characters.

We love the Henry and Mudge series. My 5 year old raided all the books out of my classroom and in order for me to have peace (and teach my first graders to read) I had to buy him his own set. My only complaint is that there isn't a Mudge toy. He was dying for a Mudge this Easter so I scoured and scoured and finally found a Steiff bulldog puppy (mohair so wasn't cheap, as if any Steiff is ever cheap!!!) in a lying down play position (yes I know it's a bulldog but the Steiff toy looks like puppy Mudge from the books!) that would work. He LOVES the toy and carries it everywhere.Cynthia...please consider letting toy companies make a Mudge toy. We found our Mudgie but I'm sure others would like one too and Steiff are SOOOOOOOOOOO expensive!!

These are great for new readers or for read alouds to toddlers. Love, love, love Cynthia Rylant!PS - there isn't anything religious about this Christmas book. I kind of dislike this since so much of Christmas culture has some mention of Christ, but this book's focus is more about family visiting and doing things together like presents, cookies, caroling.
