  | Full Text Reviews: Booklist - 02/01/2006 In their twenty-seventh Ready-to-Read adventure, Henry and his dog, Mudge, take a trip out west. In fact, west is as specific as the locale gets. Still, kids will know they are in cowboy country by the landscape, the cowboy hats, and the souvenirs that catch Henry's eye. This is simple fare: an auto trip out west, views of the local flora and fauna and the sights, and the return home. Bracken illustrates the book in the style of Sucie Stevenson (who illustrated a number of previous books in the series), using bright, cartoon-style art that captures the happy feeling of life on vacation. New readers, especially those who have cut their reading teeth on other Henry and Mudge books, will like this. - Copyright 2006 Booklist. Loading...
