Ranger Henry Caren Cantrell

Toys are missing!


Henry dreams of being a rough and ready Arizona Ranger. When his playmates' toys go missing, Henry hops on his hobby horse to track down the stealing varmint.


But being a Ranger isn't easy. After falsely accusing several suspects, Henry doubts he's Ranger material. Ironically, a flock of chickens gives him an idea that just might help him catch the thief.


Henry will need all his powers of observation to find the children's toys and regain faith in himself.

Using animals as the suspects, Ranger Henry helps children understand they shouldn't rush to judgment without having all the facts. Henry tries taking the easy path to solve the crime at first. When he realizes that isn't working, he almost gives up. But with a bit of thought and creativity, he finds a way to solve the crime without accusing anyone else.
