Henry and his 180-pound dog Mudge are best friends forever.
And in this third book of their adventures, they share summertime
fun!
內容簡介:
In this third book of the series Henry and Mudge and Henry
and Mudge in Puddle Trouble, Rylant''s portrayal of the small Henry
and his affectionate large dog is even better than before. When
Henry and Mudge go on a picnic and Henry is stung by a bee, Mudge
licks away his salty tears. When Henry gives Mudge a bath, he ends
up having to dry both of them with a towel. And when Henry and
Mudge play King of the Mountain, they pretend that Mudge is a
dragon, and together chase away all pretenders to the throne. Late
on summer days, when purple shadows mime their play, Henry and
Mudge curl up under their magic tree and sleep "together, on the
green hill in their green time." Stevenson''s pen-and-ink and
watercolors sensitively embellish deftly-told stories about
loyalty, love and innocence.
Henry and his enormous dog, Mudge, return with three more short
adventures for early readers, all set in the summer. Their picnic
is interrupted by a bee sting; Henry gives an unwilling Mudge a
bath; and the two of them enjoy a make-believe game of king and
dragon. The stories are sweet, and humor abounds. The cheery
watercolors shimmer with the brightness of the summertime setting,
and Mudge in particular is an engaging fellow. Young readers who
are ready for short chapters will enjoy the simple, everyday events
which befall this duo.
