Here I am writing about more Cynthia Rylant books. Hey, I could have an entire blog about her books. She writes for all ages. Anyway, these books are easy readers for children, but also merit status as read-alouds. The books are fun and also have some sort of learning experience. In Henry and Mudge, the First Book, the relationship between Henry and Mudge is established. This is the first in a series about an only child and his huge best friend, a mastiff named Mudge. In Henry and Mudge Take the Big Test, it is Mudge who takes a dog obedience training test. Children hear the word test and assume this book is about a test for Henry.
Here is a series for boys. Boys may not always want to read, and this subject matter helps.
Happy reading, Carolyn
