Henry in Love by Peter McCarty

4.0

There’s nothing like young love, especially as portrayed by Peter McCarty in this sweet picture book about a kitten named Henry in love with a bunny named Chloe. McCarty’s understated text captures all the essence of grammar school love…showing off, tag, and sharing your favorite snack. Pen and ink drawings splashed with watercolors are scattered across off-white pages with lots of space. On one two-page spread, Chloe sits at her desk surrounded by green grass and breezy red and pink flowers while asking Henry “Are you looking at me?” You can practically hear the violins as we intrude on Henry’s daydream. This charming story will remind adults and children alike that you’re never too young to be bitten by the love bug.
