BR3-03(8) : Henry and Mudge and the Sneaky Crackers

And for ID, they always carried some real crackers in their pockets. Did Mudge ever love THAT!

     This is a story about Henry's new spy kit and his faithful sidekick Mudge. Henry is ready to look for clues, steal secrets and flirt with danger. One of the first things Henry and Mudge find is a coded message. It said "Who are you?" For a week Henry left secret message by the trash can. And then he found another boy spy who had same spy kit and dog wearing a spy hat.

     I like the part in which Henry and another boy spy named their club "Crackers" and for ID they always carried some real crackers in their pockets, which are Mudge ever loves. They named their club "Crackers" because they were so good at cracking codes. Crackers can be for snack and also can be for their ID. They enjoyed being a spy and flirting with danger. Henry tried to give Mudge something spy kit, but Mudge gave the magnifying glass a big wet lick. So Henry thought Mudge should just wear the spy hat. They went outside, and Mudge rolled around in a puddle so that no one could notice they were spying.
