Angelina and Henry

"Angelina and Henry" has Angelina and her young cousin Henry out on a camping trip with their Uncle Louie. Somehow Angelina and Henry get separated from Uncle Louie during a storm, and Angelina acts as Henry's protector, reassuring him and keeping him warm. When the storm ends, they reunite with Uncle Louie and have a fun camp-out. This is another fun read in the Angelina series and the illustrations are vibrant and charming. Great series for preschoolers!

My six year-old daughter writes: Angelina and Henry were going on a camp out with Uncle Louie and there was big cat. Angleina and Henry got lost in the deep dark forest and they saw the cat's ears, eyes, tail, and mouth. They were scared and they could not find their way. Uncle Louie came and found them. It's a good book for four to eight year olds. The pictures are very nice. The mice show a lot of courage.

My 2 1/2 year old daughter just loves this book and asks to be read it again and again. She enjoys all of the Angelina Ballerina book but this is one of her favorites. Because she herself if little she identifies with Henry and enjoys any books that he is in. She also likes the references to "Big Cat," the scary character in the book who may just be part of the imagination's of the young mice. This book seems to be just scary enough to thrill her while not being so scary that she cannot tolerate the storyline. I do not know how an older child would feel about this book, but my daughter loves it.

This is a different Angelina book, when she and Henry have an outdoor adventure camping with Uncle Louie. After wandering into the woods, Angelina and Henry have to face their fears after dark. If your child is an Angelina fan they'll enjoy another story with Angelina and Henry. If they are new to Angelina, start with the first story Angelina Ballerina.
