Nancy

Nancys Neighborhood Welcome

Henry and the Bully
New! Henry and the Bully

"Henry finds a creative way to stand up to his nemesis and they even become friends. The colorful cartoon illustrations are full of action and memorable facial expressions. This installment of Henry's adventures shows kids how to use their own ingenuity to solve a common problem."
- School Library Journal

"When Sam the second-grade bully starts stealing Henry's soccer ball at recess, the little mouse doesn't know what to do. He soon realizes he's got to find his own way to solve his bully problem. Classroom favorite Nancy Carlson encourages young readers to use creativity and empathy to tackle one of school's toughest challenges. Plus, there's a surprising twist about Sam the bully toward the end of the story!"
- Viking

Start Saving Henry

Learning to save is a good thing!

"Carlson's child-friendly artwork captures Henry's ingenuity and angst as his savings program rolls on."
- Booklist

Henry's finally old enough to get an allowance, and he can't wait to spend it every week on giant jawbreakers, a huge pencil, and other silly things. But when Henry finds something he really wants, he discovers that saving money can be more difficult - and more rewarding - than he ever imagined.

With candy-bright artwork, a popular main character, and a story that every child will relate to, Nancy Carlson's new book makes perfect "cents" for young readers!
Start Saving Henry
Think Happy!

It's time to THINK HAPPY!

"This book will become a classic for your child when they need a mental boost to lift their spirits and allow happiness back into their life. I give this book a high-five for the good feelings it gave me!"
- Stories For Children Magazine

"As in SMILE A LOT! (2002), Frog and his friends look on the bright side, and Carlson teaches lessons about positive thinking with humor..."
- Booklist
Henry's Amazing Imagination

Blast off with Henry !!...

"Using brightly colored illustrations and a laugh-out-loud text, Nancy Carlson shows creative minds how they can use their own amazing imaginations."
- Viking

"... entertainment is where it's at. Carlson's point is wrapped in sly humor and emphatic colors, giving cues as to how a time-honored brand of story telling - the great tall tale - ought to be delivered. Readers will realize... that brightening someone's day with a stretch of the imagination is a gift."
- Kirkus Reviews
