The 6th of the series. A wonderful collection of vignettes depicting some adventures at the sea. I really loved the tone and characters, especially the dog named Mudge who wears a red hankerchief around his neck.

Simple, line drawings depict a fun day at the beach with a boy Henry, his dog Mudge and dad. The story shares with the reader the positive relationship Henry has with his dad and dog as well as the carefree adventures they embark on at the sea. An endearing story for early readers.

Cute little family tale and a boy and his dog at the beach, enjoying hot dogs and sno-cones and each other. Very easy to read, but it's broken into chapters so the young reader can feel like he/she has stepped up to the next level.

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 is a story about a young boy named Henry and his dog named Mudge. They were on their way to the beach with Henry's dad. They finally make it to the beach and they run to play. They later get hotdogs at a hotdog stand on the beach. They also brought a fake lobster. It suddenly gets pulled into the water and mudge gets it out. They celebrate eating snocones. They see a large crab. They decide to go home. This book is fun especially for children who have animals at home.

We all know how much Henry and his dog Mudge love each other and how much fun they have. This book talks about their adventues at the beach and how, once again, Mudge saves the day!
