Mr Henry and the Sea Serpent
(Scholastic Hippo)
978-0590552738, RRP £3.50, Paperback
Under 5s Pre-School/Nursery/Infant
This has been one of the most read books in my latest batch, with children of all infant and nursery groups clamouring for it. Superb illustration complements a yarn of stormy seas, a rowing boat tossed by wild waves, a motley crew of animals sheltering from the storm ... only to meet a mighty sea serpent. All is satisfactorily resolved in the appropriately glorious technicolor style of the fisherman's tale!
