Uncle Jake has a big surprise for Henry and Henry's big dog, Mudge. He's going to build them a tree house! At first Henry is all excited. But then he remembers. Mudge does not know how to climb a tree. How will Henry and Mudge share a tree house if Mudge can't climb?
K-Gr 2-When Uncle Jake builds Henry a beautiful tree house, there is a big problem-Mudge cannot climb trees. Unwilling to hurt his uncle's feelings, the boy tries staying in the structure for short periods, then getting down to be with his dog. When the grown-ups notice what is going on, they come up with the perfect solution-the tree house is rebuilt in Henry's bedroom so boy and dog can enjoy it together. The family dynamics are sensitive, warm, and funny. Pen-and-ink and watercolor art illustrates the action, and the final spread on which the tree house is next to Henry's bed is just unexpected enough to elicit giggles. A welcome addition to a deservedly popular series.-Lisa Smith, Lindenhurst Memorial Library, NY Copyright 2003 School Library Journal, LLC Used with permission.
