Meeting the textual needs of new readers, Henry and his big dog Mudge visit Great-grandpa in a retirement home. The progressive plot (they take a group of great-grandpas on an unapproved outing) is both sentimental and unrealistic. Still, the action unfolds quickly and illustrations that mirror the story give numerous clues concerning the events and unfamiliar vocabulary.
