This second book in the series of countryside tales about the adventures of Henry the field mouse, will continue to delight children aged 3-10 with the telling of Henry's escapades. After exploring the town market, Henry and his friends return home accompanied by their new town mouse friend. Back in the familiar garden, Henry introduces his new friend to his pals the hedgehog, water vole, and horse. As winter comes to the country garden, the adventurous mice hear the Christmas Story when visiting the village church and enjoy playing in the snow. In the final chapter they encounter a dangerous intruder to the garden whose winter coat offers a clever camouflage.

The beautifully illustrated pages will encourage curiosity in the natural world as children learn a little about the appearance and habitats of different animals. Throughout this series of three delightful books children will love how Henry makes friends with almost everyone- steering clear of those who might like him for their supper!

The antics of these wildlife creatures will capture the imagination of those already reading by themselves and are divided into short chapters for 'read to me' bedtime stories.
