It was first published in 1987 and has since become a classic of children's literature. The story follows Henry, a young boy, and Mudge, his giant dog, as they go on a series of adventures together.

The book begins with Henry and Mudge getting ready for bed. Henry is excited to go to sleep, but Mudge is full of energy and doesn't want to go to bed. Henry tries to get Mudge to settle down, but nothing seems to work.

Finally, Henry has an idea. He tells Mudge that he's going to tell him a story. Mudge loves stories, so he settles down and listens to Henry tell the story of the Three Little Pigs.
