Henry the Very Hungry Mouse

About the Book

Henry the Very Hungry Mouse is about a little mouse that lived in my garden wall. He would eat the seeds from the birds' fat ball, which hung from a hook just outside his front door, and if it was a sunny day, he would sometimes fall asleep there. One windy day, the fat ball was late arriving and Henry was so hungry he tried to pinch the seeds from the bird feeder. In doing so, he came face-to-face with Blackberry, one of my cats.
