As I was saying, this is a wonderfully fun, exciting, and gorgeous picture book for the whole family! It celebrates "treasure" in all its forms while providing a feast for the eyes with every turn or flick of the page, while actively engaging the imagination. I mean, the ingenuity used to create the obstacles placed in the path of his treasure were astonishing. Though I didn't have a favorite method, I did love the sheer overkill in the quantity of measures used I mean there's no such thing as TOO SAFE, right? In this case, there may be no way of actually reaching the "too" mark because those that are seeking Henry's loot are pretty sneaky, pretty crafty, and downright adorable...and just because HE doesn't want to hear that, since we're supposed to be helping him through the pages, it doesn't make it any less true.
In the end, it was a marvelous story filled with laughter and adventure in the making, as well as beautiful artwork to capture the eye and ensnare the mind. It's a great way to remind siblings that not all the explorations of their younger/older counterparts are filled with ill intent...and that at times, they can be the cutest things, EVER!
