PreS-Gr 2-In Henry and Mudge in the Green Time (S&S, 1987) Cynthia Rylant perfectly captures the essence of childhood during the summer with three adventures-a picnic with a most unwelcome bee, bathtime with Mudge, and an imaginary world of kings and dragons on the big green hill. Read slowly enough for beginning readers to follow but rapidly enough to keep the story moving, Suzanne Toren's wonderful narration adds to the gentle tone of the book. Featuring clear page turn signals and rollicking music between the stories, this is a welcome chapter in the life of a boy and his dog.-Veronica Schwartz, Niles Public Library District, IL Copyright 1999 Cahners Business Information.
