“Henry and Mudge and the Long Weekend”, is a kids picture book that is about a boy and his dog having a boring, dull weekend. Henry's parents and his dog helped him build a castle in the basement because the weather outside was not very nice. It took his parents and him a whole weekend to build the castle. Henry is the main character in the story that loves to be outside. He is a very active young boy that loves to play with his dog Mudge outside. Mudge is Henry’s dog that loves to chew on anything he can get his mouth on. Henry’s father is a kind man that loves spending time with his son doing whatever he wants to do. The setting takes place during February on a cold, rainy day. It starts off in Henry’s room when he wakes up to see the sky dull and that is was raining. He then goes down stairs by his parents in the living room. They were all thinking of something to do on a cold rainy day. Then Henry’s mom comes up with an idea to build a castle in the basement.They gathered supplies to build the castle and the rest of the story took place in the basement.The theme of the story is that even on a cold rainy day there is always something you could be doing. Even if you're building a castle in the basement, or just spending time as a family, there is always something.I recommend this book to children in first or second grade that want to find some ideas for something to do on a boring weekend, or just to read for fun on a boring weekend. It is a really good book, with some pretty funny pictures as well.
