Sitting on the porch with his dog, Mudge, Henry watches a man and a collie walk by. As the collie obeys the man's commands to sit, lie down, and stay, Henry looks at Mudge and thinks about the things Mudge knows how to do: drool, sleep, and jump up on company. So Henry decides to enroll Mudge in dog obedience school. On the first day, Mudge dances with the trainer; on the following days, Mudge learns commands. But will he learn enough to pass the final test? Henry wonders how many boxes of liver treats it will take. Written by Cynthia Rylant, who has won many honors including the Newbery Award for Missing May, the Henry and Mudge books are perfect for beginning readers. Full of the sunny adventures of a young boy and his enormous but good-natured dog, these stories gallop along at a frisky, comical pace.
'The three short chapters of this beginning reader focus on autumn activities. Suzanne Toren reads the story with just the right amount of drama in her voice...A good choice for beginning readers'. - School Library Journal
Award-winning children's author Carolyn Crimi teaches a lesson on the importance of reading. Henry likes his books much more than his pirating duties aboard the Salty Carrot. Fearsome captain Barnacle Black Ear and the other shipmates scold, tease and try to shame Henry into giving up his books. But only Henry can show this crusty crew how to survive after they are shipwrecked.
Carolyn Crimi scored a big hit with her first pirate bunny tale, Henry and the Buccaneer Bunnies, starring a rabbit named Henry, who is more interested in reading than pirating. The rest of the Salty Carrot's crew is too busy bowling with coconuts, shooting themselves out of cannons, and otherwise goofing off to care about a threatening letter received in a bottle. But Henry thinks there's something sinister behind the letter. Soon his fears become realized when the ship is attacked by crazy chickens!
Inspired by the life of Henry David Thoreau, D.B. Johnson tells the story of a frugal bear named Henry who sets about building a small cabin in the woods and ends up with a much bigger home than he and his friends ever imagined. Narrated by James Naughton with music by Jon Carroll.
It isn't how fast you get someplace, but what you do along the way: that's the philosophy behind this story about two friends who agree to meet 30 miles away in Fitchburg. In this story inspired by Thoreau's WALDEN, Henry elects to take a very long nature walk, while his friend chooses to work to earn his train fare. A step-lively narration by James Naughton and Jon Carroll's music to hike to make this journey fun and thought-provoking too.

December brings a day to play in the snow, and in January, Henry discovers a favorite library book. Before they know it, the 100th day arrives! Now how will they celebrate?
