Henry wants to climb a mountain, and nothing is going to stop him.
Then Sam, the tax collector, puts him in jail.
But being locked up doesn’t stop Henry. He still gets to splash in rivers, swing from trees, and meet a stranger.
This bear, modeled on the real Henry David Thoreau, roams free to lead you on a journey you won’t soon forget.
“This is as good as a picture book can get.”
