Personal Reaction: I really enjoyed this book. I remember reading Henry and Mudge books as a kid, but I did not remember any specific details. This is what made it so fun to read this chapter book. It was like being a kid and reading it all over again.Read Aloud: This is a cute short chapter book and so it would be easy to read in a day with children during reading time. There is not much educational value in this book, but it would be fun to do a creative writing piece along with it. Henry got a dog and all of his worries about everything at school, etc. went away. A good journaling activity would be to ask if there is anything in their lives similar to what Henry went through when he got Mudge. Has a pet ever made you feel better and why?Independent Read: This a transitional book. It has chapters in it and longer sentences and paragraphs. I think second to third grader would be able to read this book. It would be a little challenging for a second grader, but probably relatively easy for a third grader to read. This book would be good for someone who is in love with their dog or pet of any kind.For Narrative: This is probably going to one of the child's first chapter books. This would be a good book to use foreshadowing as a literary teaching device. After each chapter, you could have them stop and journal a paragraph or two on what they think is going to happen next. After reading the next chapter they could take time to reflect and then foreshadow what will happen in the next chapter until the end of the book.
