Reviews for Henry and Mudge and the Starry Night

[cheryl_in_cc_nv · Rating: 3 out of 5 stars]

Not quite as lovely as the title implies, somehow, but still - I would love to be part of this family.

[mckennamiller · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

I love all of the Henry and Mudge books. They have such simplistic and powerful messages and don't have any of the qualities that I hate in children's books such as bickering or stereotypical gender roles. I also think the integration of the illustrations with the text are done perfectly and add a lot to the story.

Henry and Mudge go camping! They explore the nature and animals, Henry's mom is a camping pro while Henry's dad just comes along with a guitar and a smile. They look at starts and spend the night safe and surrounded by nature. Mudge humorously finds and eats food the whole trip.

In this book Henry, his parents, and Mudge go on a camping trip. Henry's mother is the outdoors person. "She knew all about camping....Henry's dad didn't know anything about camping. He just came with a guitar and a smile." In the first chapter, they prepare and pack, and Henry imagines the animals they might see, including, maybe, a scary bear. Then they set up camp, and Henry sees wonderful things, including a fish and a deer, a waterfall and a rainbow. In another chapter, Henry and his parents they examine the constellations. This is a great story to build vocabulary about camping and the outdoors
