Henry and Mudge and the Wild Goose Chase

Henry and Mudge are back in this chapter book for young readers. Henry's mother decides that the family could use some fresh eggs, fruits, and vegetables, so a trip out to the farm is in order. In typical Henry and Mudge fashion, some mischief does occur on the outing, this time involving a very loud goose. The book does an excellent job reviewing and introducing vocabulary words one might use on a farm, but also helps readers learn the names of different foods. The book features very vivid pen-and-ink illustrations, as well as watercolor illustrations. The pictures in the book are just as enjoyable as the story. Recommended for early kindergarten readers through grade 2.

I have a lot of respect for Henry's mom. In some ways I want to be her, with a big porch & yard & trees, and long dresses and bare feet - but I don't want a huge slobbery dog, thank you.

This sweet story is about Henry and his dog Mudge who go visit a farm in the country and an angry goose who chases them inside!

Henry and his dog, Mudge, tangle with a grumpy goose when they visit a farm.
