Aided by Henry''s father, this terrific twosome enters a
snowman-building contest at the local park. The entries are many
and clever-from snowdogs and snowpeople to snow aliens. Henry''s
entry, however, stumps the judges-until he explains that the
green-paint-spattered figure represents his father when he''s
painting a chair, and he wins third place for the most original
creation. With a giant box of snowman cookies as their prize, the
victorious albeit messy trio returns home to indulge in an equally
wonderful cookie mess. Full of this series'' usual good-natured
humor, this easy read-aloud will warm the hearts of emerging
readers. The watercolor and pen-and-ink illustrations lend a gentle
and simple touch to this lovely adventure.
Humor, simple sentence structure, and bright, detailed pictures
again prove a winning combination in this, Rylant''s nineteenth
Henry and Mudge Ready-to-Read book. Henry and Mudge, aided by
Henry''s father, participate in a snowman-building contest. Although
up against some strong competition, their unconventional offering
brings chuckles and a third-place prize for creativity. Rylant has
a great sense of rhythm and pacing, alternating one or two lines
per page with larger blocks of text. Mudge''s dog antics effectively
introduce the concept of simultaneous story lines, and three subtly
defined chapters, with numbered and occasional text-only pages,
gently ease kids into traditional book format and inspire reading
confidence. The story is enjoyable, but more important, it
communicates that contests should be fun, regardless of who wins,
particularly when the excitement is shared with loved ones.
