Henry the Artistic Dog is a standout addition to the canon of children’s books, whose Henry will leave you and your children in stitches.

Up-turning reader expectations, author and illustrator Justin Worsely gives Henry an unlikely profession: he’s not just a dog, he’s an artist — and he’s not just any old artist, he’s a sculptor — a sculptor of poos, which he creates with his bottom!

Worsley’s Henry is concerned with things above and beyond the contents of his dog bowl or how much he gets walked. He is an artist, Worsley pokes fun, who feels misunderstood by his public and upset that his creations have not yet garnered the recognition they deserve — until, happy ending, they do…

Justin Worsley was a long-time resident of Hong Kong who now lives in the UK. We look forward to where his avid imagination next takes him. Will Henry’s poo adventures continue, or will other animal characters enter the fray?
