Publisher Description
Each of Cynthia Rylant's Henry and Mudge books gives young readers another chance to spend happy moments with the young boy and his enormous dog. The two friends' days are filled with sunshine and adventure. But there are always surprises waiting for them, too. One night, Henry and his parents find a stray cat on their doorstep. It's not a pretty cat, but it is very friendly. Once it meets Mudge, it is also a very happy cat. What will happen, now, if someone claims Mudge's scruffy new friend? George Guidall's narration brings out all the frisky, affectionate humor in Henry and Mudge and the Happy Cat. Young readers and their parents will laugh out loud at the gentle and unlikely bond between the two animals, and they will enjoy the delightful solution to their dilemma.

"This book is from one of my all-time favorite series, it is also timelessly popular in the 2nd grade. I can remember reading it and now get to enjoy sharing it with my 2nd graders. The students enjoy the quick reading chapters and the theme of animals and familiar words."

" I thought that this book was good. It was funny when the cat washed Mudge's feet. It was polite for the cat to send Mudge thirty bones. This story would have been better if there were five pets in the story. It would have been funnier to read about four cats washing Mudges feet. "

" This is Rebekah's favorite series right now. She devours them. This was the first one we read, and now she keeps asking if she can have a cat when she and our black lab are both older. "

" MCL. I liked that the cat adopted Mudge and taught Mudge good manners. I liked the part when the cat sent Mudge dog bones and a police badge and because the cat taught Mudge good manners he shared the police badge with Henry. "

" This was the first book I read about Henry and his dog Mudge. The book had a nice story, and I would definitely use this in my classroom. Maybe the oldest would find it boring, so I think I would use it for 3-5 years old. "

" It was great. It was very funny when people kept on seeing the signs and all they said was, "Our's is grey." or "Our's is black." It was funny when the cat was staring at Henry's dog. "
— Grant, 2/29/2008 -
" I think I love the Henry and Mudge books as much as all my kids have. <br/> <br/>I like that the main character, Henry, isn't the usual kid book kid--precocious and irritating. <br/> <br/> <br/> "
