Henry And Mudge And The Wild Wind: Ready-To-Read Level 2 (Paper)

Henry and Mudge are great for guided reading circles, and children who master the book will be proud to re-read it multiple times. There is just enough silliness to make the book engaging, although the illustrations leave something to be desired.

Henry and Mudge get scared by the bad storm. They work together and use their friendship to brave the storm. It's a great lesson of working together to overcome fears.

This is much more of the boys book. The father makes the game up 'crawling-through-enemy-lines' game. And even though Mudge is afraid of the sound of thunder he is still described as 'brave' through the game. I wonder when the boys figure that 'crawling-through-enemy-lines' requires a gun in addition to the flash light.

Henry and Mudge are scared of the thunderstorm, but Henry’s dad invents a game so that Henry can get over his fear. It doesn’t help Mudge, but he comes out after the storm ends and the two go outside and find a rainbow. ( )
