[jr-verse]

Anyone remember a book series "Henry And Mudge" & "Annie And Snowball"? If so... was it nostalgic for you??

[augustinapril]

thinking about the books I read as a kid is simultaneously wonderful but also so painful

[confetti-cat]

Hi hi! I've never played an ask game before; is there a limit to the number of asks you can send? I'd like to know these: 10, 15, 16, 20, 21. Thank you!

Hello and welcome! I'm honored to be a part of your first ask game! Nope, I've never heard that there's a limit—Tumblr etiquette would suggest that anywhere from 1-6 is a good range so the post doesn't get too long, but that's totally up to the asker. Thanks for sending! 💖

10. name a song with impeccable vibes.

I already used My Love Has Gone Across the Sea for my recommended instrumental track, but I love it a lot and will use it here too. It has some awesome fantasy/"love creates joy amidst sadness" vibes that I think are really cool. Another one—that I'm thinking of after answering the last set of asks—that has absolutely fantastic vibes is the Mithril Disco Phial music from LEGO Lord of the Rings. It's the music that plays when you use the mithril disco phial, the best video game item ever created. It makes everyone around your character dance so hard they can't attack you. 10/10, super great.

15. tell me about a childhood memory you’ll never forget.

When I was younger, my family traveled to Central America and was considering moving there. (We didn't end up doing so, but it was a very cool experience!) While we were there, we visited a small zoo. The regulations for having a zoo there seemed less stringent than they are here in the US—i.e., most of the animals were just in enclosures with one layer of regular wire fence. I saw a tapir browsing for leaves near the front of its pen, so I walked over, crouched down, and held out my hand to see if it would sniff it through the fence. It actually walked up to me, put its huge tapir elephant nose through the fence, and licked my hand a few times. I thought that was so cool.

16. what is the first “big kid book” aka chapter book, that you remember reading after learning how to read?

Answered previously! Another early one I remember was the Henry and Mudge books, about a boy and his mastiff. There was one about "a happy cat that was always purring, whose fur looked like mashed prunes" that stuck with me for how striking that imagery was. 😂

20. if you had to pick a country to live in outside of your own, which would it be?

I've always thought it would be super cool to live in Iceland or New Zealand—they're both beautiful places in environments I haven't experienced before. Pros of Iceland include: volcanoes, glaciers, and the possibility of riding an Icelandic horse at a tölt (a special gait) - pros of New Zealand includes general beautiful farmland, being slightly less rugged, and, of course, Hobbiton! (And at least two mutuals! As opposed to Iceland, which I don't think I know anyone from.) Also up there are Ireland or Israel. Travel has never been something I felt drawn to do much, but I'd like to visit those places at least for a while!

21. tell me about your pet(s)! (if you have one of course. can also be a past pet, or family pet.)

I have two sweet, fluffy Ragdoll cats, many assorted chickens, and a few dairy cows! I've always loved animals and enjoy living on a farm.

📚 for the book asks, how about 27 & 47? (bon voyage!)

ahh thank you lttrs! from this ask game:

27. What was the first book you remember reading as a kid?

Okay so I only remembered vibes (sprouts? dogs?) but thankfully my mum let me know the actual book series name: Henry and Mudge by Cynthia Rylant. I thought it might have been one of my brother's books that he took home from school that I stole to read because I was 3 and a maniac, but apparently it was a gift from my grandmother. Young boy and his dog, admiring flowers in the yard, but the dog eats them instead, "causing great consternation". The lessons I learned from this book as a child is that if you pretend you are a dog illegally eating flowers then it's much more satisfying to eat your alfalfa and bean sprouts etc.

The other answer is probably something that started out being read to me until I grabbed the book and read aloud (instead of falling asleep): Swallows and Amazons by Arthur Ransome, a series from the 1930s about children's sailing adventures in the Lake District.

47. What are the last three books you read?

First is Thud! by Terry Pratchett; a re-read of a beloved story, so excellent as are all of his books. Particularly good for thinking about history, and who is telling it, and board games that connect us.

Second is Jurassic Park by Michael Crichton; of course I've seen the movie but I've never actually read the book before! And I really liked it! It has much more detail into the science and technology, such as it was at the time, than the movie ever goes into. And also a lot more people become dinosaur food.

Third is Died in the Wool by Ngaio Marsh; a classic murder mystery from 1945 Aotearoa/New Zealand about small-town personalities and also maybe wartime weapons secrets. This was an author (one of many) that my mum recommended, and I enjoyed it so much that I got another one of her books for my to-read pile. Apparently Marsh is very into the theatre, and it really comes out in some of her other books.

okay so I made this post in a series of rebloged post so I am remaking it again into one single post. So if you don’t know I work at a public library and currently I am page (because I just gradauted and you need a bachalors to be anything other then page)

If you don’t know a library page is the person who takes all the books you return organize them and then reshelve them (we also do other things related to the innovatory of books we have). Anyway at the library I work since its kind of small we only have two pages including me and on the days we work together we split up our task a such I shelve the YA and Juv (kids) which is on one side of the library while the other page shelves the Adult which is on the other side.

Anyway this is my takeaway of the most popular kids books that we have broken down into each section. Note this is not coming from a statistical source but coming from what I see mostly checked out and return in the small library I work at.

Book Series (here is a list of our book series) These are books that are checked out so much that we put them in the book series section. out of all the contenders I feel like are (other then the first one the rest are in no particular order)

1. Warrior Cats

2. Geronimo Stilton 

3. Minecraft Fiction

4. My Weird School

Comics again minus the first one the rest are in no particular order

1. Dogman

2. the Splatoon manga

3. Babysitters club

4. Bad Kitty

5. Big Nate

6. Dragon Kingdom

7. WIngs of Fire

Regular fiction again after the first one the rest are in no particular order

1. Diary of a Wimpy Kid

2. Captain Underpants

3. Wings of Fire

4. Big Nate

5. I survived

Step-up aka early chapter books think Junie B. Jones

1. The Magic Tree House

while there are other popular series they no where come close to the popularity of the magic tree house

Primers and Readers (think Dick and Jane, and Toad and Frog)

1. Henry & Mudge

2. Anything by Margaret Hillert (mostly known for dear dragon)

Picture Books instead of series I am going by author for this one

1. Mo Williams (Elephant and Piggie)

Non-Fiction this one is kind of tricky since its useally popular subjects such as dinosaurs, video games, or sports but if I had to choose a series it would be these

1. Battle Animals (basically its who would win in a fight a bear or a gorilla and then gives facts about each animal)

2. The Who Is series ( you know those bios with the big heads)

DVDS  

1. Paw Patrol

2. Scooby Doo

3. Lego

why do the Lassos look like the family in the Henry and Mudge books (minus Mudge)

[thespongemagic]

I don’t know why I remember this. But there was this one time when I was in second grade I think when the whole class was going to see a local production of a Henry and Mudge musical (for the five people that remember Henry and Mudge)

But anyway, this one time in class, the teacher told us that we could read a book during like quiet time. So I wanted to read One Fish Two Fish Red Fish by Dr. Seuss as one does. But my teacher for some reason, took the book out of my hands and said to me “That’s not appropriate for you to read right now. Read this instead” handing me a Henry and Mudge book.

Like... what kind of fucking teacher are you? You didn’t specifically tell us to read a specific book, you just said to read *a* book. I am 20 years old and I am still not over that.

W (3.5) is old enough now that he likes to read longer books with me, which I'm so so excited about. We started by reading Mrs. Pigglewiggle, then Hello Mrs. Pigglewiggle, then we read some Henry and Mudge books, then Karlsson on the Roof. He liked them all, but I thought Karlsson was an annoying piece of shit (he's an adult man who acts like a surly baby, hmmm there might be something triggering about that.) Now we are reading Pippi Longstocking. I have a wonderful Swedish friend who gifted us all her favorite Astrid Lindgren books: Karlsson, all 3 Pippi books, Ronia the Robber's Daughter, and the Brothers Lionheart. So we will eventually read them all, and probably more.

But the reason I'm making this post is that I was very excited to put the first Moomins book on hold at our library today!!!! I am pretty sure my son will LOVE Moomins. Reading is magical; reading with kids is next-level magical.

Check out this listing I just added to my Poshmark closet: Henry and Mudge Under The Yellow Moon.

HELLO FRIEND I have seen your name around in some reblogs and I need to know.... do you hold sacred Darby pug knowledge. We have gotten so far on our own but we remain just shy of having it all. How may does he HAVE? 3 or 4? Unconfirmed everywhere, makes me FERAL. Much love. ❤️

hello! okay so for context the highest number has been 10, because Lemons & Mudge had a litter of 8 pups.

for quite a while now i’ve only ever seen three of them all at the same time. while it totally could be four & one just hides all the time, i can confirm for sure that he still has Lemons, Henry, & Mudge.

Lemons is the classic-looking one with the curly tail, Henry has the large black spot around his left eye, & Mudge is the one whose eyes always look closed + has brown spots on his head.

I LOVE mastiffs. I taught myself to read on the Henry and Mudge books so the love's been there a long time.
