Henry Climbs a Mountain

(3) K-3 When Henry the bear refuses to pay his taxes because they support slavery, he is sent to jail. On the blank walls he draws trees, birds, flowers, even a mountain, which he climbs and atop which he helps an escaping slave by giving him his shoes. Johnson's engaging cubist-like illustrations expertly blend reality with fantasy in his third book about Henry, based on Henry David Thoreau's life and writing.
