Henry and his big dog, Mudge, like to play outside. But when a thunderstorm begins, Mudge is unhappy. He wants to go inside. He wants to hide from the loud thunder and sharp lightning.
Soon the storm is very windy and noisy, and the lights have gone out. As Mudge hides his head in the sofa, Henry and his parents light candles and play cards. Then, armed with a flashlight, Henry goes on a rescue mission.
Each of the Henry and Mudge books, by the popular Newbery Award–winning author Cynthia Rylant, quickly becomes a favorite with young readers and their parents. Henry and Mudge and the Wild Wind is sure to draw the listener into the magical world shared by the little boy and his lovable big dog.
“[The] story presents a problem common among children (and dogs) with sensitivity, warmth, and gentle humor.”—Booklist
