Henry’s Amazing Imagination - (ISBN: 978-0142416051)
by Nancy Carlson
Henry gets pretty carried away when sharing sights with his class on show-and-tell day. He does not intend to lie, but his imagination helps him exaggerate a bit. When his teacher suggests he write down his “tales,” he finds an outlet for his stretched truths. Eventually, he gets to read his stories at show-and-tell because the other children miss hearing his fanciful adventures. Try to write down one of your experiences, but exaggerate it a little bit to make it a great and exciting adventure!
