Living in Alaska, we absolutely love picking berries – and we always seem to have an abundance even after a bit of over-eating and giving gallons away. Much like Henrietta Hen, we also make it an adventure.
Henrietta Hen goes on a berry picking adventure with her friend, Dotty Donkey, and they not only stuff their faces, but they also remember their friends, recently acquired and friends of old, and pick berries for them as well.
The author, Özgen Halil, did a brilliant job of taking ordinary animals and giving them believable personalities that are hilariously eccentric – yet seem completely normal. This story takes us on a journey from the Chicken Inn to meeting the frog on the log, a smelly pig they were happy to be away from (yuck!), a short rest at the well that was home to a mouse, and even the tricky fox and very protective bear added to making the adventure memorable.
This children’s book paints a picture of what friendship is. Not only do friends stay true to their word, but they also protect and help each other. I thoroughly enjoyed this book for its story, the morals portrayed, and the fun illustrations. Order your copy today and fall in love with these fun and quirky characters.
