Bookroo's summary

Henry and his dog Mudge, with a little help from Dad, are on a mission to create the ultimate Mother's Day lunch. With a juicy pineapple centerpiece, the menu promises excitement. But can Henry prevent Mudge from devouring the delicious surprise before Mom gets a taste? Join their fun-filled adventure and find out if they can pull off the perfect family celebration.

From the publisher

Every year Henry and his dad (with help from Mudge, of course) make Henry’s mother a funny lunch for Mother’s Day. Shopping for their juicy, crunchy surprise is fun, and preparing it is even more fun. But sharing it with Henry’s mother is the most fun of all!
