Henry and Mudge and Annie's Good Move: The Eighteenth Book of Their Adventures

40 pp. | Simon | September, 1998 | Trade ISBN 0-689-81174-8 $$14.00

(3) K-3 Ready-to-Read series. Illustrated by Sucie Stevenson. Henry and his big dog Mudge help Cousin Annie and Uncle Ed move into their new house--next door to Henry! Annie, however, is covered in blotches because she's so nervous about the changes. When Henry's nervous, he "crawl[s] under the covers with Mudge"--which is just what Annie does until the move is over. Lighthearted pen-and-ink and watercolor illustrations accompany this satisfying story.
