Synopsis

This third book in the series of countryside tales about the adventures of Henry the field mouse, will continue to delight children aged 3-10 with the telling of Henry's escapades.

In this exciting collection of stories, Henry and his tiny friends embark on more adventures beyond their garden home meeting a squirrel, a fox, a mole, a donkey, a rabbit, and a harvest mouse along the way. Once again the beautiful illustrations will capture the imagination of little adventurers as Henry and friends explore the nearby woods, fields, churchyard, and the village green. By sneaking into cars and buses they venture away from the safety of the garden on daring visits to the seaside, a railway station, and the vegetable garden of a stately home!

The beautifully illustrated pages will encourage curiosity in the natural world as children learn a little about the appearance and habitats of different animals. Throughout this series of three delightful books children will love how Henry makes friends with almost everyone- steering clear of those who might like him for their supper!

The antics of these wildlife creatures will capture the imagination of those already reading by themselves and are divided into short chapters for 'read to me' bedtime stories.

A story of unlikely friendships and the acceptance of differences.

A propos du livre

À propos des auteurs

Jo Coker is an 88-year-old retired florist and grandmother who always hoped her children and grandchildren would share her love of the English countryside. She grew up in rural England and started writing stories about Henry the field mouse when her grandchildren moved to Hong Kong, hoping they'd retain a connection to the countryside. Researching the lifestyles of the wild animals in her countryside tales has led to an increased respect for habitat conservation for mice, hedgehogs, squirrels, water voles, rabbits, foxes, moles and rural England. When not searching the local garden centres for a new plant, she is happy to relax with a good book and a hot cup of tea. She currently lives in a very active village in the Cotswolds and keeps busy knitting toys and blankets for local charities, as well as cute little mice to accompany her books.

She has been drawing her entire life, from messing with her father's architectural drawings, through Hunter College and then studying at the Parsons School of Design in New York. Animals have always been an important part of her life, from the farm animals in South Carolina, to the Welsh terriers she showed all over the country, to her beloved Arab horse Sheer Nonsense. Her menagerie over the years has included a lizard, a mouse, a hedgehog, a ferret, miniature horses, several dogs, and even a tiny bird that yells "shut up."With such an eclectic taste in pets, it is no surprise how much Barbara has enjoyed working on the Henry series and creating all the wonderful animals Henry meets on his travels Barbara worked with Belk, Inc. a Charlotte department store chain producing all their fashion-related art and design products for 28 years, retiring as a Senior Designer. Since then, she's been freelancing, working on everything from designing corporate logos to creating art for T-shirts to illustrating children's books.
