HENRY AND MUDGE AND THE WILD GOOSE CHASE

What could be better than an outing to procure fresh produce--eggs, blueberries, and sweet fresh corn? For Henry and his dog, Mudge, going to a farm is a superb delight. Mrs. French encourages the young guests to explore the farm. The pecking chickens, the cat family, and the other farm creatures are appealing, except for the goose. With George Guidall as narrator, the goose's irritating personality is evident--there's brassy and persistent honking wherever the guests go. Yet Guidall narrates a calm and unflappable Henry, who takes in every aspect of the trip with much enjoyment and laughs heartily with Mudge's grand finale.
