While down in Cambridge, Massachusetts last weekend I splurged on the above book: Henry in Love, by Peter McCarty. I rarely indulge in book purchases, but this one was made for me and my boy. We both love Hondo and Fabian and with a story that includes blueberry muffins, football, and crushes on girls - I couldn't resist.
I marvel at McCarty's ability to show so much with so much white left on the page. There are no full bleeds or spreads - just the implication of it by delicate use of inks and watercolor. Sometimes in his characteristic small, voluminous and atmospheric shading. Sometimes with just an outline.
The story is beautiful. The art is beautiful. Go read it with a loved one (big or small) before you get saturated by big red hearts and chocolate boxes!
Henry in Love
Peter McCarty
Valentine's Day is still a little far off, but love is in the air with this new book.
Henry in Love by Peter McCarthy is a new title.
Henry in Love explores the initial love relationship that is often seen in kindergarten or first grade. Henry sets off for school with his lunch and a special snack a homemade blueberry muffin. He has a secret crush on Chloe. He shows off a little at recess to get her attention. Then just after recess the teacher changes seats and Chloe ends up setting next to him. Chloe asks what he has for snack. Henry ends up giving Chloe his blueberry muffin and he eats her carrot.
This is the perfect read-aloud for a kindergarten or first grade class. The students can easily make a batch of hot warm blueberry muffins and share them with a special friend. Here is one recipe for Mile High Blueberry Muffins - http://www.emerils.com/recipe/4956/Mile-High-Blueberry-Muffins
Sometimes love is a blueberry muffin.

Love his animals! That chicken just cracks me up. I love Hondo and Fabian, too.
Such delicate work! I love it.
I haven't been able to get my hands on this one but I just added it to my list of: books-to-get-when-I-travel-to-the-US-cause-sadly-there's-nothing-here. ;o)
