Henry and Mudge AND THE Best Day of All

The First Day of May

On the first day of May Henry woke up early and said to his big dog Mudge, "I'm having a birthday today."

Mudge wagged his tail, rolled over, and snored.

"Mudge," said Henry, "wake up. I'm having a birthday today."

Mudge wagged, rolled to the other side, and snored some more.

"Mudge," said Henry, "birthday caked' Mudge opened one eye.

"Ice cream," said Henry. Mudge opened the other eye.

"And lots and lots of crackers." said Henry.

Henry's father took lots of pictures.

He took one of Henry. He took one of Mudge.

He took one of Henry and Mudge.

He took one of Henry and Mudge and Henry's mother.

Then the bookcase took one of all four of them.

After the pictures, Henry's mother fixed Henry's favorite breakfast, pancakes with strawberries.

The family ate and ate and ate.

When they were done, they had four very sticky red mouths.

The first day of May was looking even better.
