"I want to have a dog"
Henry tells his parents.
"Not just any dog.
Not a short one.
Not a curly one.
And no pointed ears"
Then he gets Mudge, who grows to be three feet tall and weighs one hundred eighty pounds!
"Lively, reassuring, and comical, with cartoon-style illustrations that gallop, skip, and splash right along with the test."
- The Horn Book Magazine

gotta love a 3 foot high, 180 pound dog. the horn book magazine says, 'lively, reassuring, and comical, with cartoon-style illistrations that gallop, skip, and splash right along with the text.'

Great for a young boy just learning to read.
