What this book is about:
Henry asks his father every night, “Tell me about when I was small.” And Henry’s father tells him about all the adventures he had, such as giving Henry baths in the teapot and just pouring him out through the spout when he was done, brushing his hair with a toothbrush and carrying Henry around in his shirt pocket.

Why I love this book:
Oh, let me count the ways. First the book itself has simple drawings and no jacket cover, that evoke a very charming and retro feel, without being old fashioned. Second, there is a sly humor to the book as if the father is hinting to Henry that these aren’t quite real memories but ones to make him smile. And lastly the fun of Henry’s adventures will delight any young one.
