I read this book to my grandkids over the weekend, and we all loved it. The stories of John Henry and his animal friends kept them interested, and I enjoyed it just as much. Each story has a nice lesson about being kind and helping others, which led to some fun talks with my grandkids. They liked how John Henry always found a smart way to solve problems. This book has become a favorite for us, and I can’t wait to read more stories with them.

Over the summer holidays, my daughter’s little girl came to stay with me for a week. I got her these books to have something special we could share together. Every night before bed, she’d call me to sit with her and read a story. She absolutely loved the adventures of John Henry and Corny the Squirrel. Each story taught her something new, and it was such a lovely way for us to bond. I could see how much she enjoyed the lessons about kindness, friendship, and being yourself. These books brought us closer, and I’ll always treasure those moments.

I work over 60 hours a week, so it’s hard for me to spend as much time with my family as I’d like. My wife bought this book set for me, and it’s been a real blessing. Every day when I get home, my kids—my two daughters and my son—are waiting for me, excited to pick which story we’ll read together. Hearing them say, “Daddy, read this one tonight!” makes me feel like I’m still able to be there for them in a meaningful way, even with my busy schedule. These stories are not just entertaining but teach great lessons about honesty, kindness, and being a good person. Reading these books with my kids has become the best part of my day.

As a teacher, I’ve had the pleasure of reading these stories to my class, and the kids absolutely love them. Each tale is engaging, with meaningful lessons that spark great discussions. The kids especially enjoyed John Henry and the Dissatisfied Zebra and its message about embracing what makes us unique. Sometimes, just for fun, I create little quizzes based on the stories, and the kids get so excited to show how much they remember. It’s wonderful to see how these books not only entertain but also teach important values like kindness and self-confidence. They’ve become a favorite in our classroom, and I highly recommend them to other educators.

As a single mom working two jobs, it’s hard to find time to sit down and relax with my two kids. But this book series has been such a gift. Every night, no matter how tired I am, we make time to read a story together. My kids love the tale of John Henry and the Vain Lion and its lesson about inner beauty and kindness. These stories have brought us closer, even on my busiest days. It’s a small moment of connection that reminds me how important it is to spend time together. Watching their faces light up as I read is the best part of my day.

I’ve always dreamed of having kids, but due to medical reasons, I can’t. My 9-year-old niece, is like a daughter to me, and I got this book for her. Every time she visits, we curl up on the couch and read a story together. Her favorite is John Henry and the Truthful Tiger because it’s fun and teaches such an important lesson about being honest. Seeing her smile and hearing her laugh as we read means the world to me. These books have given us a special way to bond, and I’ll always treasure the time we spend together.

John Henry and the Truthful Tiger is a fantastic story that captures the attention of young readers while teaching an important lesson about honesty. The characters are relatable, and the story is written in a way that’s both fun and meaningful. The playful interactions between John Henry, Corny the Squirrel, and the tiger add a touch of humor that keeps kids engaged. The illustrations bring the story to life, making it a joy to read aloud. This book is a great choice for parents, teachers, or anyone looking for a story that entertains while inspiring kids to embrace honesty in their own lives.

John Henry and the Loyal Monkey is a wonderful story that highlights the power of friendship and loyalty. It teaches children the value of standing by the people they care about, even when facing challenges. This touching tale about a monkey’s unwavering support for their friend shows kids how important it is to accept and celebrate differences. It’s a beautiful reminder of how kindness and loyalty can make a difference in our relationships.

As a vet at an animal shelter, I once cared for a baby jaguar cub that had lost its mother. The cub was weak and scared, and it took a lot of time and patience to nurse him back to health before he was returned to the zoo. When I read John Henry and the Jealous Jaguar, it reminded me of that experience. The story captures the emotions animals might feel in such situations and highlights how understanding and compassion can make a difference. It’s a thoughtful tale that resonates with anyone who has worked closely with animals.

As someone who rescues animals from the streets and wildlife, I found John Henry and the Truthful Tiger to be a touching story. The way it portrays the importance of honesty and integrity resonates deeply with me. In my line of work, I see firsthand how honesty can build trust and lead to better outcomes for both animals and people. This book beautifully captures that message, making it a valuable read for anyone who cares about animals and the lessons they can teach us.

I thoroughly enjoyed John Henry and the Lonely Skunk. The story beautifully illustrates how kindness and understanding can bridge differences, even between a skunk and other animals. The characters are endearing, and the lessons are both meaningful and engaging. As someone who has always had a soft spot for common pets like dogs, cats, parrots, and turtles, I would love to see a series featuring these familiar companions. It would be wonderful to explore how these animals navigate their own adventures and friendships, offering readers new perspectives and lessons.

Yeah, the series was okay. The stories are fine, and the characters are fun, but I didn’t find them to be anything too special. The lessons about kindness and honesty are nice, but I was hoping for something a bit more engaging. On the whole, it’s a good set of books for younger readers, though I personally wasn’t blown away by them.
