The competition is stiff when Henry and Mudge enter a snowman building contest to be held at the park. There are snowcats, snowdogs, even snow aliens. But Henry has a plan.
This book would be good for primary students who are just beginning to read. This book might be best for 2nd graders who are merging into bigger books.
This book is about Henry and Mudge. They see that there is a snowman contest and rush to ask their father. When they get to him, he is painting a chair and he has green paint all over. This gives Henry an idea for the contest. Henry, mudge and his father, head to the contest and make their snowman. They made a creative snowman that was covered in green paint just like his father was. They won 3rd place for most original.
This book is a good one. I probably would just leave this on my shelf as a book for my students to read. It is one of those books that is for independent or one on one show more reading. I don't think that I would do a read aloud with this book. show less

This book would be good for kids K-2. The story follows Henry and his dog Mudge and how they enter a snowman competition. They model their snowman after the dad painting a chair, and end up winning third place. This book is good for students who are learning how to read chapter books with longer sentences and higher-level vocabulary words.
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 book is a book for late intermediate readers. This book was about a boy who wanted to enter a snowman contest with his father and big dog Mudge. They made a great snowman that looked like his father when he is painting a green chair. I thought that this was a great book for family and showing that you can do anything even if its something as simple and making a snowman. Long story short they got third place. I thought that this was cool that they celebrated getting third place. they thought that the first place winner deserved it.
