Other editions of book What's the Matter with Henry? The True Tale of a Three-Legged Cat

When Henry was found, his left front leg dangled uselessly from his shoulder. That could have been the end of the story for this little striped kitten. But instead, it was the beginning of an unlikely adventure, as two dog lovers rescued him. Henry had to lose his leg but what he gained was far more valuable. His is a story of survival, courage, perseverance, and triumph over barriers and bias. Henry shows his rescuers the power of love to overcome any and all obstacles. Henry’s story is for kids of all ages . . . from six to sixty . . . (and beyond!) “The more we expose our children to books that promote respect for diversity, compassion, courage, and resiliency, the more we'll see children who thrive in this incredibly complex, diverse world. Oh, how I would love to get this true tale about Henry the three-legged cat into the hands of all children! At its core, it's about so much more than a cat. I'm not a 'cat' person, so I normally don't seek out cat stories. Henry's owners, Cathy and Donna, weren't cat people either, and they certainly didn't seek him out. But sometimes we don't always get to decide what happens to us in life. What we do get to decide is how we respond. When Henry shows up with a front leg beyond repair, Cathy and Donna respond in a way that changes their lives as well as the lives of many others. There are many powerful messages in this book, but I love how Henry's life reminds us that we are not defined by our misfortunes, but by our responses to them. In the back of the book are kibbles and bits of advice and life lessons from Henry himself. The end of the book actually is only the beginning, as we learn that Henry is now a cat with a mission to help animals and children in need. (Would you believe he receives over 100 emails a day from all over the world?)” — Chinaberry CatalogALL profits from the sale of this book are being donated to animal rescue groups, shelters, zoos, and other animal causes.
