Henry Small and his Pocket Rocket Tall
Henry Small is just getting ready to play when a little old lady from number 3 comes knocking at his door. Mrs McFee has run out of tea, and without her morning cup, she simply isn’t herself!
Luckily, Henry knows exactly what to do.
With a magical rocket hidden in his pocket, Henry and Mrs McFee set off on an exciting adventure to China, where they meet Yang Lee and discover how tea is grown, picked, dried and prepared.
But Henry has one problem of his own: it’s a school day, and the clock is ticking! Can Henry get Mrs McFee her tea and make it home in time for school without his mum discovering where he has really been?
A playful adventure in rhythmic verse that introduces young children to China, tea production and the journey from tea plant to teacup, all through an imaginative story. A magical story about kindness, problem-solving, curiosity and discovering the world, with the message that even the smallest person can solve the biggest problem.
