Henry runs home to tell his dad. On Saturday, the park is filled with people building all kinds of fancy snowmen. There are many dogs there, too. While Mudge makes friends, Henry and his dad get to work. They will need to make a very unusual snowman to win this contest! Listeners of all ages love the Henry and Mudge series. Each adventure of the young boy and his enormous dog is one that teaches happy lessons about friendship and sharing.
