March 2017 Debut of the Month An unexpected friendship is at the heart of this quirky, thoroughly charming picture book. Henry is having a nice cup of tea when suddenly Boo is there, right next to the teapot. Henry, a rather round dog in sensible trousers, is clearly the grown up in this relationship; little rabbit Boo – who only ever says ‘Boo’ is the child. Boo follows Henry wherever he goes and a series of funny scenes show quite how irritating for Henry this is. But the moment comes when Henry is really pleased to have Boo at his side. The surprise ending will have everyone laughing, and Boo and Henry are lovely little characters. ~Andrea Reece
Henry isn't happy when an uninvited guest suddenly interrupts his tea break. And he is less than thrilled when the little creature decides to stay - along with its annoying habit.
With the unwelcome visitor getting under his feet all day, it's easy for Henry to miss the signs that a dangerous and hungry bear has been seen in the area. How can he avoid being the next victim?
