Familiar Carlson protagonist Henry the mouse has entered first grade. His friends are excited about reading, but Henry hates it. Or is it that he's having trouble? What unfolds seems plotted by numbers as, with practice, Henry grows to love reading. Still, Carlson's illustrations--bright and approachable with magic-marker-like outlines and shadings--are as friendly as ever.
