Nancy
Nancys Neighborhood Welcome

New! Fall 2009 - Learning to save is a good thing!
Start Saving Henry

"Carlson's child-friendly artwork captures Henry's ingenuity and angst as his savings program rolls on."
- Booklist

Henry's finally old enough to get an allowance, and he can't wait to spend it every week on giant jawbreakers, a huge pencil, and other silly things. But when Henry finds something he really wants, he discovers that saving money can be more difficult - and more rewarding - than he ever imagined.

With candy-bright artwork, a popular main character, and a story that every child will relate to, Nancy Carlson's new book makes perfect "cents" for young readers!
Start Saving Henry

It's time to THINK HAPPY!
Think Happy!

"This book will become a classic for your child when they need a mental boost to lift their spirits and allow happiness back into their life. I give this book a high-five for the good feelings it gave me!"
- Stories For Children Magazine

"As in SMILE A LOT! (2002), Frog and his friends look on the bright side, and Carlson teaches lessons about positive thinking with humor..."
- Booklist
Henry And The Valentine Surprise
Henry's Amazing Imagination

"Nancy's trademark humorous text and candy-colored illustrations showcase just how sweet Valentine's Day can be!"
- Viking

"Told with mounting suspense, this mystery has a delightful and satisfying conclusion."
- School Library Journal

"Carlson's familiar characters provide a sweetly thought-provoking Valentine interlude for the early-elementary set."
- Kirkus Reviews
Henry's Amazing Imagination

Blast off with Henry !!...

"Using brightly colored illustrations and a laugh-out-loud text, Nancy Carlson shows creative minds how they can use their own amazing imaginations."
- Viking

"... entertainment is where it's at. Carlson's point is wrapped in sly humor and emphatic colors, giving cues as to how a time-honored brand of story telling - the great tall tale - ought to be delivered. Readers will realize... that brightening someone's day with a stretch of the imagination is a gift."
- Kirkus Reviews
