Well, there's overprotective--and then there's Little Red Henry's
family! A hilarious tale about what happens when a coddled kid asserts
his independence.
Little redheaded Henry's family treats him like a baby. They dress him.
They feed him. They brush his "widdle toofers." But he's not a baby
anymore. He's a little boy who wants to do things for himself. So with
his family watching anxiously from the wings, Henry sets out on a
glorious day of independence. But will things swing too far in the other
direction? In this charming reworking of the classic tale of the Little
Red Hen, author Linda Urban and illustrator Madeline Valentine gently
and humorously depict a family trying to find a middle ground between
hovering over their youngest member and giving him room to grow.
