Customer Reviews

A must for animal lovers young and old.

For anyone who has shared a bond with a pet, "Henry" is for you. It brought back memories of all the creatures I grew up with. I thought the illustrations were wonderful. Once again, Cooper has brought tears to my eyes and a smile to my face.

rad!

yum! i love that nooshie face henry. what a book i tell ya! it rocks

A real treat!

I am a big fan of animal stories and Henry was a delight! I liked the loose drawing style and think it's perfectly suited not only to the puppy love we expect to find in the story, but also the lighthearted thoughts the author slips in for adults reading to their kids. I didn't expect it to sing out to me like it did, but it did. A great read and a great find!

Beautiful

Reading Elisha Cooper's book "Henry" brought back vivid memories of my relationship with a dog who shared my world for 12 years. I think the book is beautifully written and illustrated and has the magic of conveying the feelings of such a bond.

James Herriot meets Ernest Hemingway--with pictures, too!

Cooper isn't afraid to tell a sad story here--and the story wouldn't be sad if he hadn't first given us a something vivid and real and joyful to care about: a boy and his dog. True companionship runs through this book. The writing's spare but the feeling isn't. And the pictures are beautiful. A good gift for anyone who likes dogs or is thinking of getting a pet for their child.
