Henry, the toy elephant, is an old favourite and this set is all the more welcome in the larger format. Henry's adventures as he tries to get in and fly his new aeroplane are fun but the best of the series has to be Henry's Exercises. Henry's struggle to get fit, using his chair for exercising, has appealed to every child in my classes over the years - and all the adults around! His antics as he goes on, off, over, under, up and down the chair are hilarious and Peppe's superbly spare illustrations match the dry humour perfectly.
