Wonderful book, adorable artwork - great story

My children absolutely love this book and I love reading it to them. It is a wonderful story with lots of humor and a heartwarming ending. Henry is a very entertaining character for adults and children.

What will Henry the cat do next?

My daughter absolutely loves Henry the adventerous cat. I believe that we have most all of Mary Calhoun's childrens books. The Henry the cat books are illustrated and written wonderfully. We can't wait until Henry the x-mas cat book comes out!

A talented Siamese cat cleverly overcomes "sibling rivalry"

Kids will love the Henry books! Henry is a very talented Siamese cat who learns to balance on his hind legs. He puts his talent to good use when he rescues the newcomer to the family. Kids will love this book because it successfully blends suspense with the themes of sibling rivalry and working hard to overcome obstacles. And, of course, it has a happy ending! On another level, parents and teachers can use this engaging story as a way to tie in to discussions about the scientific concepts of balance (center of gravity) and motion. Suitable for pre-K to grade 3.
