…or… they could’ve just built the tree house outside on the ground…

I loved the Henry and Mudge books as a child and it’s fun to read them again with my kids! In this one Henry’s Uncle builds him a tree house, but Henry’s excitement is squashed when he realizes Musge can’t join him in it. He struggles with missing his best friend Mudge but also showing appreciation for the gift. Luckily his Dad and Uncle come up with a solution that lets him have the best of both worlds. Very relatable and a good lesson for kids, grown ups who love you can help you solve problems!

I love books about a friendship between a boy and a dog.

Kind of a snoozer for me, although we do get a great definition of the word 'burly.'

Cute story about Henry getting a tree house that Mudge can't get into. A Z book, so not great for storytime, but would be good for one-on-one reading with a bit of an older kid 4+.
