Henry and his dog Mudge are delighted when Henry’s cousin Annie comes to live next door. The two children have a great time playing together, and Annie and Mudge get along wonderfully well. Seeing how friendly Annie and Mudge are, Henry decides that Annie needs a pet of her own.
What kind of pet would suit Annie? She is a quiet girl who would not like a pet mouse (too scary), or a pet turtle (too wet), or a pet crab (too hard), or a pet bird. After some careful thought, Henry and his parents come up with the perfect solution. There is a pet that will be just right for Annie.
Most children would love to have a pet in their lives. In this charming Henry and Mudge story, they will discover how important it is to carefully choose a pet that is just right.
With a simple text that is divided up into four short chapters, this is a perfect book for a child who is just beginning to read on his or her own.
