Henry and Mudge and the Best Day of All by Cynthia Rylant illustrated by Sucie Stevenson*

Each time I read a book from this series with my six year old, I smile and am happy!
Ms. Rylant knows her audience well and writes in engaging manner.
It is May 1st and it is Henry's birthday.
The house is festive.  Treats await both human and dog!
My son and I took turns reading the pages aloud to each other.
