About this title

Synopsis

Puzzles, colouring, fun animal facts, mazes, word searches, and more based on the delightful Adventures of Henry the Field Mouse series, PLUS five brand new ‘five-minute stories’ of Henry’s countryside escapades packed into one colourful book!

To complement the mousey tales set in the English countryside, the activities revolve around the series' wildlife characters, including adorable illustrations of Henry’s wildlife pals.

As usual, Henry and his pals leave the safety of their cosy nests to explore beyond the garden wall. When they head to the riverbank to visit their friend the water vole, a kingfisher shows them how to catch fish, and a regal swan and her cygnets explain their connections to the King. Then the intrepid mousey explorers join Daisy, the squirrel, in the woods and find a safe spot to watch a family of badgers playing in the leaves. Deciding to venture further afield, the adventurous mice creep into a barn in the next story and meet a family of bats. In their final adventure, Henry teams up with four mice pals to enjoy Midsummer celebrations at the village pub and they have a narrow escape from a large ginger cat.

These countryside tales will delight children aged 3-10 as they follow Henry’s escapades beyond his home under the garden shed. This combination story and activity book will be a wonderful addition to the bookshelves of children ready to read and solve puzzles independently, as well as those content to look at the pictures while listening to a bedtime story of Henry’s escapades.

Throughout this series of four delightful books, children will love how Henry makes friends with almost everyone- steering clear of those who might like him for their supper!

About the Authors

Jo Coker is a 90-year-old retired florist and grandmother who always hoped her children and grandchildren would share her love of the English countryside. She grew up in rural England and started writing stories about Henry the field mouse when her grandchildren moved to Hong Kong, hoping they'd retain a connection to the countryside. Researching the lifestyles of the wild animals in her countryside tales has led to an increased respect for habitat conservation for mice, hedgehogs, squirrels, water voles, rabbits, foxes, moles and rural England. When not searching the local garden centres for a new plant, she is happy to relax with a good book and a hot cup of tea. She currently lives in a very active village in the Cotswolds and keeps busy knitting toys and blankets for local charities, as well as cute little mice to accompany her books.

Born in England, Sue Dockstader has worked in London and Hong Kong as a lawyer, writer, and editor, contributing to both print and online publications. She works with nonprofits strengthening their communications and fundraising activities and contributes to the peace and harmony of her community by mediating for the local small claims court. Having enjoyed guiding several authors (including her mother) through the book publishing process, she is now getting serious about her own writing projects and is a regular contributor to Medium.com while she works on her own novel. Sue lives in Camas, WA, with her newly retired husband and rescued Jack Russell Terrier and is thrilled that her two children are off the payroll with interesting careers in Virginia and Germany.

Barbara Richards was born in Panama. She has lived all over the eastern US from Iowa to Mississippi and currently lives in Charlotte, NC. She has been drawing her entire life, from messing with her father's architectural drawings, through Hunter College and then studying at the Parsons School of Design in New York. Animals have always been an important part of her life, from the farm animals in South Carolina, to the Welsh terriers she showed all over the country, to her beloved Arab horse Sheer Nonsense. Her menagerie over the years has included a lizard, a mouse, a hedgehog, a ferret, miniature horses, several dogs, and even a tiny bird that yells "shut up."With such an eclectic taste in pets, it is no surprise how much Barbara has enjoyed working on the Henry series and creating all the wonderful animals Henry meets on his travels Barbara worked with Belk, Inc. a Charlotte department store chain producing all their fashion-related art and design products for 28 years, retiring as a Senior Designer. Since then, she's been freelancing, working on everything from designing corporate logos to creating art for T-shirts to illustrating children's books.
