| We have also been reading some of Cynthia Rylant’s Henry and Mudge stories and chose to use an apple theme for some "New Adventures of Henry and Mudge." | ||
| Henry and Mudge At The Party Henry and Mudge were at a party. They bobbed for apples and they fell in and got sucked into a secret pool. Then they swam to an opening. They thought it was a way out, but it was just a way to a cave. So they swam up into the cave. There were bones for Mudge and tons of food for Henry. They stayed in there for a year and it was Henry’s birthday. He got a birthday cake and he blew out the candles. He wished that he could get out of the cave. They started eating the cake. When they were almost done, they saw a shovel. So they started to dig. It took them ten weeks to dig all the way up. Then they walked to their house and that took them nine days. When they got home they told their mom all about what had happened. Then they never ever went to a party again. By Daniel |

| Henry and Mudge On An Apple Hunt
Once upon a time Henry’s Mom yelled, "Help your little sister find something to eat." "Mom, do I have to?" "Yes." Then Henry got an idea. "I know. We will go on an apple hunt." So off they went on an apple hunt. Every step they heard a crunch. "Stop Mudge," said Henry, but it wasn’t Mudge. Every time they heard that loud sound Kelsey, the little sister, yelled, "Help, what is that?" "I don’t know, but I found an apple tree." They ran to the apple tree. They heard crunch, crunch, crunch. "Hey, I know what sound that is. It is Mom eating an apple." So they went and picked some apples and ate them. By Kailey |

| Henry’s Birthday
On December 12 it was Henry’s birthday and he and Mudge wanted to get a lot of presents. All that Henry and Mudge got were apples. So they decided to make an apple pie. "How do you make an apple pie?" He found a recipe card. It said 12 apples, 3 eggs, 2 teaspoons of sugar, and 1 bow. Put all the ingredients together and put it in the oven. So they had apple pie.
