(Hedsite Press, March 16, 2017)
Henry the Hedgegnome and his friends are putting on a circus in the garden. Henry wants to be a clown but, whatever he tries, he can’t make anyone laugh. That is, until he has an accident with a bowl of soup… Henry the Hedgegnome is small and spiky, and lives in the garden. It is a little known fact that hedgegnomes practically run the garden. Surely, you don't think flowers open themselves each morning, do you? Everyone loves Henry the Hedgegnome, and with the introduction of his friends, children are shown that wildlife and garden creatures are fun and friendly. In this story we meet a clumsy spider, some comical woodlice and are reacquainted with Henry's old friend Mr Bee. This children's illustrated book will be loved by pre-readers as a bedtime story and enjoyed by early readers as they learn to read. A funny and easy to read story with beautifully simple illustrations. 32 pages and 14 colour illustrations.
