Books with title Henry's Great Adventure

This collection features the lives of nine remarkable people, whose stories have inspired generations of adventurers. With Francis Drake we raid the Spanish Main and sail around the world. With Richard Burton we cross the deserts of Arabia. Hiram Bingham discovers the lost city of the Incas. Amelia Earhart personifies the heroic exploits of the early days of aviation. With Scott and Amundsen we race to the South Pole, with Hillary and Tenzing we conquer the summit of Everest. Thor Heyerdahl, like some latter-day Viking, crosses the oceans of the world in his tiny craft. Although separated by centuries, all are united by their curiosity, courage and the unquenchable spirit of adventure.

An amusing and engrossing rhyming story for four to eight-year-olds who love a bit of adventure. Follow the little mouse as he sets out from his little house on the farm, ready to start his journey. Along the way, he meets other characters, even exotic creatures, but even those from around his home can make him shiver with excitement, if not a little fear. He could have never imagined where his adventure would take him, but by the time he starts off back home again, he is happy to have seen so much that was new. The adventure continues right to the very end of the story.... Will he go on another adventure?

Seeker's Great Adventure Imagine an invisible Kingdom that is very, very real. It is a place where you can discover the Great King and his castle with secret towers and mysterious underground passageways. It is a place where you are invited to experience a life-changing adventure! But there is one problem...One BIG problem. Dragons. "Look out, Seeker! Dragons!" Seeker turned to face the dragons. They had gotten up from the ground, thrown off their clown disguises, and were now rushing toward Seeker in full-force dragon rage. But Seeker wasn't afraid. He remember the words from the song; he remembered the powerful weapon. He stood very tall and yelled, "In the King's name, you get out of here!" The effect was amazing. It was like an invisible lightening bolt hit the dragons. They flew backwards through the air and landed with a loud thump. They held their bodies and rolled on the ground, screaming with pain. Seeker grabbed his friends by the hand and whirled back towards the Straight and Narrow Path. "Come on everybody! Let's go!"

Dip Call Me Dippy, an over-active Pit Bull puppy, ends up in an animal shelter because she has too much energy. In Dippy’s Great Adventure, the first book in a series, Dippy uses her energy to dig a hole under the fence through which all the dogs escape. They run to an amusement park where they go on a lot of rides. Because Dippy has so much energy, she has a hard time staying seated and is a little naughty on each ride, in a cute and endearing way. When the dogs go on a boat ride, a gust of wind sweeps all the dogs except Dippy into the water. Dippy channels her energy to rescue them. The dogs are so appreciative that they honor Dippy with a parade and make her a lifeguard. On the beach, Dippy facilitates the adoption of all the dogs. After an exhilarating and exhausting visit to the playground with her new family, Dippy goes to sleep in her fur-ever home.
