Henry's Show and Tell - Hardcover

Nancy Carlson has written and illustrated many beloved books for young readers. She lives with her family in Bloomington, Minnesota.

PreSchool-Grade 1–Colorful, action-packed illustrations introduce readers to a young mouse and his animal classmates as they paint, sing songs, and learn their letters. While Henry enjoys most of the daily kindergarten activities, he dreads show and tell. His kindly teacher finally guides him in the right direction, suggesting, "Bring something that's fun for you to talk about." He decides to share information about his pet lizard, which just happens to escape. During the ensuing commotion, he forgets his own nervousness and happily shares everything about Wallace. Children are left to speculate on what happens next, when he brings his pet spider the following week. The vibrant pictures capture the emotions of the characters and reflect the upbeat mood of an active classroom. This delightful tale addresses a genuine childhood concern in an entertaining manner.–Anne L. Tormohlen, Deerfield Elementary School, Lawrence, KS
