Henry and Mudge and the Great Grandpas (Ready to Read: Level Two)

K-Gr 3 -Fans will welcome another installment in this popular series. In this adventure, Henry and his lovable dog visit Great-Grandpa Bill in the house where he lives with lots of other grandpas. The two friends go exploring and come across a pond that looks like a great place for a swim. Knowing that they should not go in the water alone, they return to the house in search of a buddy. All of the grandpas head off to the pond with the boy and the dog, resting on Mudge whenever they get tired. They all have a great time swimming in their -skivvies - and telling old stories. Brief chapters with entertaining watercolor illustrations make this book an excellent choice for beginning readers ready to make the transition to short chapter books." -Melinda Piehler, Sawgrass Elementary School, Sunrise, FL" Copyright 2005 School Library Journal, LLC Used with permission.
