Henry Hodges Needs A Friend by Andy Andrews

Henry Hodges Needs a Friend by [Andrews, Andy]













Here is the book summary:

From the author of The Kid Who Changed the World, this hilarious rhyming story, complete with charming art, offers comfort to children who often feel left out or are in need of a good friend.

At some point, almost every child struggles with feeling like they don’t fit in or are left out—just like Henry Hodges. Henry is a lonely little boy on a lonely little street who longs for a friend. One day, his mother and father take him to a pet rescue shelter and his lonely world is changed! Told in a playful rhyme with adorable illustrations, this book will be a favorite among children and parents who love dogs and, ultimately, will comfort and encourage children who struggle with feeling accepted and finding friends.

Kids will want to read this whimsical and imaginative story again and again!

And now, my review:
This was a nice read.  My children liked it and it opened opportunities for conversation on Jesus being the Ultimate Friend that will never leave us and wants to walk through our days with us.  He is faithful to lead us to the friends He wants us to befriend for Kingdom purposes.  And along the way He is beyond amazing to know us intimately and add blessings to our lives in the way of pets and critters.  We have had our fair share over the years and we count each one a blessing.  I really loved the author’s way of descriptive/creative one-of-a-kind searches.  They had us laughing out loud!  Pick this one up and read it to your littles.

I received a copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.
