When Henry's mom tells them Cousin Annie is moving right next door, Henry and Mudge are thrilled. Henry knows Annie will be nervous about leaving her friends and changing schools, but there's nothing better for a bad case of the nerves than a snuggle under a blanket with a big dog like Mudge. Best-selling author Cynthia Rylant shows young readers that no problem is too difficult to face-as long as there's a big dog around to hug.
