In this adorable picture book, inquisitive little Henry wants to know where he came from.

This is my favourite of O'Leary's books. I love it right from the very first page that cleverly asks "Does one and one always make two? Never something more?"
Henry's question of "Where did I come from?" sparks an imaginative and witty dialogue between Mom and Dad both trying to out-do each other with stories of Henry's appearance in their lives. My favourite ones include finding Henry in a Sale Bin, and growing him in the garden.

There is not a single factual bit of information in this book, except maybe in the very last lines, so this is not the kind of book I would use to teach children how babies are really made. On the other hand, the whimsical illustrations and fantastical tall tales make this exactly the kind of book children will love, and adults will love reading to them.
Somebody mentioned this book in a blog I read. It looked cool so I ordered it from Amazon. It came today and Jake and I read it Gus over lunch. OMG! It made us both cry at the end. Okay-maybe Jake didn't *actually* cry but he came close. So sweet! And the illustrations rock. Highly recommended. Especially to parents of boys.
