This is my daughter's favorite book from childhood. She is 46 now. Her daddy read it to her again when we received it. A sweet little story about a little girl's small world.

This book was nostalgic for me since I remember Captain Kangaroo reading it on his program periodically. I'm so glad it has been kept alive and brought to another generation. It is simple and brings us an unexpected behavior and lets us know that's okay.

This is a cute valentine book, but not fabulous or terribly witty.

The book held my interest and moved right along. The characters were developed well. There were unexpected turns in the storyline. I still don't think the title has anything to do with the book.

Lorna Balian uses very simple text and very simple illustrations. The search for Henry starts in his bedroom and branches out into the wider world and back again. The ending is a surprise you never thought of.
