What this book is about

Henry is an only child who lives on a street with no other children and dreams of a dog. When he finally gets Mudge — who grows to 180 pounds — they become inseparable. Rylant's first Henry and Mudge book sets the warm, simple template for the series: two friends, four short chapters, and the cozy happiness of a boy-and-dog relationship.
