Our review
Henry lives on a street with no other kids, and he is lonely. He finds a friend in a big dog named Mudge. It is a warm, simple story of friendship and loyalty. Recommended at +4. One age: 6+, set by Lumen's read-alone age; the publisher lists 5-7.
For parents
Age 6+, set by Lumen's read-alone age. Simon & Schuster lists 5-7, so read it aloud from 4. Talk about how Henry cares for Mudge, and how God gives us friends.
