Henry's Awful Mistake

Henry the duck is innocently cooking dinner for himself and his friend Clara one night, when an ant makes an appearance in the kitchen. He goes to great lengths to get rid of the ant - but things don't end quite the way he'd planned.

This has been a favorite book of mine since childhood. As an adult, I could remember the story and even the illustrations, but I couldn't remember the title or the author. That made finding a copy pretty difficult :)

Luckily, I found another Henry book at a yard sale and I was finally able to order a copy of the book from Amazon. It's still just as good as I remember and my kids love it too!
