Henry's Map
- Used Book in Good Condition
A fun-filledÂ introduction to maps through the eyes of an adorable pig

Henry is a very particular sort of pig. "A place for everything and everything in its place," he always says.Â But when he looks out his window he is troubled. The farm is aÂ mess!Â Â Henry isÂ worried that nobody will be able to find anything in thisÂ mess. So heÂ draws a map showing all the animals exactly where they belong.Â Â And Henry embarks on a journey through the farm, his friends tagging along as he creates his map: sheep in the woolshed, chickens in the coop, the horse in the stable. After the map is complete, Henry uses it to bring himself back home, where heÂ is relieved toÂ knowÂ that he is exactly where he belongs. A place for everything and everything in its place, indeed.

For fans of Zen Shorts by Jon J. Muth or of Winnie the Pooh, thisÂ sweet romp through the farm is adorably illustrated by David Elliot, who created the endearing animals who inhabit Brian Jacques world of Redwall.Â Perfect for pre-schoolers and elemetary-schoolers learning to read maps for the first time.
