The Adventures of Henry the Field Mouse - Paperback

by Josephine Coker (Author), Barbara Richards (Illustrator), Sue Dockstader (Editor)

These countryside tales will delight children aged 3-10 as they follow the adventures of Henry the field mouse exploring his surroundings beyond his home under the garden shed while making new friends with a hedgehog, a water vole, a large horse, and a family of mice. In this first book, children will enjoy the escapades of Henry and his lovable wildlife pals as they discover the riverbank, stow away in a horsebox, and take a daring car ride to a nearby town!

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 experiencing life outside the safety of the garden will capture the imagination of those already reading by themselves and are divided into short chapters for 'read to me' bedtime stories.
