My pre-K age son loves the "Henry & Mudge" series, and I really love it too.  I really appreciate the simplicity of the stories, that Henry finds joy in the outdoors and his attachment to animals.  My son is an only chlild, a dog and 3 chickens, and we love the outdoors. I think that is why we both love this series.  When we read The Cozy Nest, my son loves at the end when Annie's bunny Snowball, curls up on Mudge for a nap, he will literally roll on the floor laughing when it says that Snowball's nest snores. We have read the books dozens of times. I can't wait until my son is ready to practice reading these books on his own.   Thank you so much for writing these books.
