Bookroo's summary

Henry and his dog Mudge embark on a camping trip with his parents, exploring the great outdoors. As they hike through the woods, encountering deer and raccoons, and marvel at waterfalls and rainbows, the family bonds over campfire songs and stargazing. While Henry's parents cook and sing, Mudge finds joy in simple pleasures. As night falls, they snuggle in their tent, dreaming of the day's adventures. Will this trip bring unexpected surprises or just peaceful memories? Discover the magic of nature and family in this heartwarming tale.

From the publisher

Henry and his dog Mudge go camping with Henry’s parents in this seventeenth Ready-to-Read book of their adventures. It’s time for a camping trip with Henry’s parents! They’ll go on hikes and smell good smells. They’ll see deer and raccoons and waterfalls and rainbows. Henry’s mother will cook camp food and Henry’s father will sing sappy old songs, and they’ll all lie on their backs and look at the stars (except for Mudge–he’ll chew on a log, instead). And at the end of a perfect day, Henry and Mudge will snuggle in their tent and dream wonderful green dreams.
