Henry's Amazing Imagination

"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

I DON'T LIKE TO READ!

Back to school with Henry! Learning to read can be hard...

"Brightened with cheerful colors, Carlson's line drawings clearly express Henry's feelings as he faces and begins to conquer the challenging task of learning to read... this down-to-earth picture book reflects the frustrations of many children who find reading difficult."
- Booklist

"A shrewd tool for a parent or teacher faced with a bibliophobe."
- Kirkus Reviews

Look out kindergarten here i come
Get ready for Kindergarten with Henry!

"Perfect for parents to share with their children, and the endearing Henry will offer reassurance to even the most hesitant kindergartners." - Booklist
First Grade, Here I come!
Henry goes to First Grade, too!
After the first day of first grade, Henry's not so sure how he feels about it. The teacher is not like his kindergarten teacher, the fifth graders hog the monkey bars, and there are too many new things to learn! With friendly illustrations and upbeat text, Nancy Carlson delivers a reassuring story that shows how exciting first grade can be.

"Prospective first-graders will find Carlson's story enormously buoyant, floating those first-day cares away on the backs of her sweet, lopsided characters."
- Kirkus Reviews
