Summary

Henry's Hand is a story about the friendship between Henry, a giant, and his right hand. You see, Henry sometimes has trouble keeping track of his body parts-everything from his ears to one of his legs can fall off. Once, his eye even rolled under the couch and wouldn't come out until bedtime. But with help from Hand, Henry keeps himself together. In fact, Henry and Hand are the best of friends . . . that is, until Henry takes Hand for granted, pushes him too far, and Hand runs away. A charming tale of friendship, forgiveness, and loyalty, Henry's Hand is also a quirky story for readers of all ages, especially those of us who know what it feels like to fight with your best friend
