Henry and Mudge and the Great Grandpas by Cynthia Rylant illustrated by Sucie Stevenson*

How I adore this series!
Henry loves visiting his Great-Grandpa Bill.  He also enjoys interacting with the other great-grandpas where Bill lives.  On one visit Henry and Mudge go exploring next the "great-grandpas' house" and discover a pond.  They ask for permission to go swimming in the pond and . . .all the great-grandpas go swimming with him and Mudge!
The word "skivvies" will trigger laughter!!
Strategies: inferring, vocab. development/expansion
Perfect series for the advancing beginning reader.

Grade Level Equivalent: 2.3
