HENRY AND MUDGE AND ANNIE'S PERFECT PET

            HENRY AND MUDGE AND Annie's Perfect Pet

Annie named her bunny Snowball. She played with her, and sang to her, and took her to Henry's house for visits. The bunny liked Henry's house. She liked riding on Mudge's back. Mudge carried the bunny all around.(p. 34.35.36)

  By reading this book, I want to have pet. because I have never had some pet.  I thought that animal has magical power that influence on human and I am sure that both human and animal can establish bond.
  I have two impressive scenes in this book. first is "Henry wanted Annie to have her own pet. He went to his parents for help."  The reason why I choose this scene is that I can see Henry's consideration to Annie.  This part makes me recall importance of friends.  second is " Annie named her bunny Snowball." because I just like bunny's name. I think that Annie has good naming sense. If I have white bunny, I want to name it "Snowman".
 This book makes me have my pet. This book is very interesting. If you like animals, You have to read this book.

         HENRY AND MUDGE AND MRS. HOPPER'S HOUSE

Mrs. Hopper wasn't like anyone Henry had ever met. She played the violin for him. She served him tea. She told him about her father, who had been a famous actor.(P.29)

  By reading this book, I thought that this book wants to say that you should not judge by appearances. for the first time, Henry was scared about Hopper's house, but once he went into her house, It was interesting and enjoyable. In my case, I have man who looks fierce, but once I talked him , I can understand he is so kind. I tend to judge people by appearance.  from now on, I try not to judge people by appearance.
 I have impressive scene in this book. It is "Mrs. Hopper put a wig on Mudge. "You look like a poodle, Mudge!" said Henry. Mudge wagged and wagged" The reason that I like this scene is that I can understand excitement of seeing unfamiliar stuff. I want to spend time like this. It must be fun. furthermore, I can see real love between Henry's father and Henry's mother in this book.
 I think that this book is so interesting. If you have enough time , You try to read it. You must like it.
