Oh, the wacky things Henry and Mudge get up to! Plus Henry's dad is a hilarious guy. They make silly lunches for his mom every year. Creative and fun-loving. Colorful illustrations with a big, drooly, lovable dog!......more

Goodreads review by Karen on September 06, 2019

I loved how they couldn't play catch because Mudge got the ball all wet, and how his dad said they were going to make a pineapple sofa for mother's day. I liked how they joked about the sleep bed pulling out to a watermelon bed, and how they made fruit people......more

Goodreads review by May Kathryn on June 03, 2024

A so--what?! For the life of me, I could not understand nor imagine what funny lunch they made to Mother. And like the first I read from this series, I was surprised again when I reached the end of the book. Or maybe it was just me? Either way, it is still a fun read.......more
