Henry and Mudge and the Tall Tree House

By: Cynthia Rylant

Narrated by: George Guidall

One day, Uncle Jake comes for a visit. Henry’s father says Uncle Jake is burly, but Henry doesn’t know what that means. His father tells him it means big, hairy, and plaid. Burly Uncle Jake also likes to build things. During his visit, he builds a tree house.

At first, Henry is excited about his new tree house. But after 14 minutes up the tree, he comes back down. He really misses his dog Mudge, who is too big to climb the tree. What fun is a tree house if you can’t share it with your best pal?

Newbery Medalist Cynthia Rylant has charmed countless new readers with her Henry and Mudge books, and this heartwarming tale is sure to be a favorite.
