Henry and Mudge and Mrs. Hopper's House

By: Cynthia Rylant

Narrated by: George Guidall

A Special Valentine's Day for Henry and Mudge

Henry's mother and father are going to a Valentine's Day Sweetheart Dance, and Henry and Mudge are staying with Mrs. Hopper across the street. Henry's never been in Mrs. Hopper's scary, old stone house with its droopy trees and dark windows and gargoyle on the door. But inside, Henry discovers a houseful of surprises—a grand piano, a room full of costumes, and eleven cats for Mudge to play with!

An aural cosplay?

The ending sort of surprised me. Not because it was a plot twist of sorts but because it was already the end of the story. This is my first book by this author; I must say, this makes a good reading for kids. It made me wish my siblings lived nearby.
