Synopsis

Henry and his dog Mudge (with help from Henry's dad) are all set to make Henry’s mother a funny, crunchy lunch for Mother’s Day in this Ready-to-Read book of their adventures. This year Henry and Mudge are out to make the best Mother’s Day lunch ever. It has to be juicy, crunchy, and perfect for family sharing. When they select a gorgeous golden pineapple, the menu is shaping up to be anything but dull. Dad is helping them carve something almost too pretty to eat. So how will Henry ever stop Mudge from devouring the surprise before Mom sees it?

Oh, the wacky things Henry and Mudge get up to! Plus Henry's dad is a hilarious guy. They make silly lunches for his mom every year. Creative and fun-loving. Colorful illustrations with a big, drooly, lovable dog!......more

Goodreads review by Karen on September 06, 2019

I loved how they couldn't play catch because Mudge got the ball all wet, and how his dad said they were going to make a pineapple sofa for mother's day. I liked how they joked about the sleep bed pulling out to a watermelon bed, and how they made fruit people......more

Goodreads review by May Kathryn on June 03, 2024

A so--what?! For the life of me, I could not understand nor imagine what funny lunch they made to Mother. And like the first I read from this series, I was surprised again when I reached the end of the book. Or maybe it was just me? Either way, it is still a fun read.......more
