K-3Henry and Mudge Books series.
Although nervous about meeting a bear on the annual family camping trip, Henry enjoys a safe outing that includes hiking, "sappy love songs" sung around the campfire, star gazing, and snuggling with his dog Mudge. The quiet story successfully captures the camping experience, and the illustrations feature attractive compositions, particularly the landscapes and night scenes.
