Henry Finds His Word

32 pp. | Dial | February, 2015 | Trade ISBN 978-0-8037-3990-1 $16.99
(4) PS Aware of his parents' anticipation, rosy-cheeked baby Henry searches for his first word. Pastel and pencil illustrations convey Henry's plight with emotion, humor, and kid-friendly visual detail, but the text strains for its jokes, building them on Henry's uncertainty about what a word actually is in a way the target audience won't understand. Amusing for parents but pointless for preschoolers.
