Book Reviews of Hot-Air Henry (Reading Rainbow Books)
Book Review: The Adventures of Henry
Summary: 5 Stars
Hot-Air Henry, written by Mary Calhoun (Morrow Junior Books, 1981), tells of a curious Siamese cat by the name of Henry. Henry's quest for adventure leads him to pilot a hot air balloon by himself. Intending on becoming a stowaway while his family takes lessons, Henry accidentally fires up the burner and lifts off into the sky. An eagle and geese complicate Henry's plans for landing safely, and the story will keep young readers on the edge. The novelty of a cat operating a hot air balloon is enjoyable, as are the images of Henry perched on the side of the basket, high above the ground. Children will be engaged in Henry's adventure and be able to relate to his curious nature. Erick Ingraham's marvelous illustrations depict a wintry mountain landscape and realistic scenes of a family and their pet cat. Hot-Air Henry is worth a read, both for the beautiful illustrations and the high-flying adventures of Henry.
