Henry and Mudge and the Wild Goose Chase

While making breakfast one morning, Henry’s mother tells the family about her craving for some farm-fresh eggs, fresh-picked blueberries, and sweet, fresh corn. So Henry, his parents, and Mudge pile into the car and set out for a farm in the country.

Henry and Mudge wander off to explore the farm. Along the way, they come across many of the farm’s friendly inhabitants. The goat, the chickens, the cat and her kittens, and the sheep are all eager to play—and then they meet the goose!

Cynthia Rylant delivers an engaging adventure to the Henry and Mudge series.
