This is the second book in the Henry and Mudge series, about a young boy and his 180 lb dog Mudge. Rylant gives us 3 chapters of adventures as Henry and Mudge welcome spring after a long winter. This would be a great book to use in a seasons or nature unit. It breaks down in a fashion showing how spring progresses. It is also a good addition dealing with friendship and the love people have for pets. The book is written in a fashion that a young reader can easily relate. Recommended for grade K-2 with a 2.2 GLE, this is a Ready-to- Read book for students who are able to read independently.
