  | Full Text Reviews: Booklist - 03/15/2004 Henry's gigantic, beloved hound Mudge is part of every scene in the twenty-fourth Ready-to-Read chapter book about their adventures. This time the focus is on Henry's bond with his dad as they plan and prepare a funny-food meal for Mother's Day. Everyone loves Mudge, and everything is wonderfully idyllic with friends, family, and the small-town community. The best chapter is about shopping for ingredients; Mudge is welcome in the supermarket, where he has a great time sniffing at the shelves and grabbing a toddler's candy. Bracken's clear pen-and-ink and watercolor pictures also show the intriguing funny-food concoctions Dad and Henry whip up--from a Sweet Potato Shoe and a Tomato Snowman to a Pineapple Sofa--which are bound to get kids laughing, reading, and maybe cooking, too. - Copyright 2004 Booklist.
