Annie and Henry join the summer reading club at the library, and vow to be "Book Bugs" for life. - (Baker & Taylor)
Annie convinces Henry to join a summer book club in this Level 2 Ready-to-Read by the Theodor Seuss Geisel Award'winning creators of Henry and Mudge.
When Annie hears about the Book Bugs club at the library, she wants to join right away, but her cousin Henry isn't so sure. He likes to do outside things with his dog, Mudge, and Annie's bunny, Snowball. Reading is an inside thing, right?

Horn Book Guide Reviews
Cousin Henry kindly joins the summer "Book Bugs" reading club with Annie, figuring she does lots of things he likes. They enjoy reading their books together both indoors and outdoors. They also find friends with mutual reading interests at the library picnic. Rylant's celebration of the versatility and diversity of reading selections and experiences is nondidactic and gently amusing. Copyright 2011 Horn Book Guide Reviews.

Annie and cousin Henry join a book club and learn that reading can be "an outside thing" (Book Bugs Club); Annie lets her bunny Snowball sniff a map to choose a destination for an impromptu day trip with Dad (Surprise Day). Both the stories and the breezy pen-and-ink with watercolor illustrations celebrate spontaneity in a way that will please the new-reader audience. [Review covers these Ready-to-Read: Annie and Snowball titles: Annie and Snowball and the Book Bugs Club and Annie and Snowball and the Surprise Day.]
