Henrietta: (there's no one better) - Softcover

In Henrietta's world, anything can happen . . . There really is no one better than Henrietta. Henrietta has a baby brother, two white mice and a chocolate-coloured dog. She loves long green socks and doing headstands with her best friend, Olive Higgie. She can even make her dad's undies into an absolutely superb hat. But what Henrietta is really good at is exploring. Every bedtime she sails by bathtub to discover undiscovered lands. Her favourite is the island where the gentle Riettas live (a grown-up Rietta has blotchy spots, a baby one has dotty dots, they NEVER eat brussels sprouts and ALWAYS want to play). But if anyone ever tells you Henrietta has a BIG BAD habit of making things up, you better believe it - that's what she does best of all!

Martine Murray was born in Melbourne and still lives there. She started writing because she thought it would be a good idea to learn a practical skill like typing. Apart from discovering a lot about waitressing, cooking rice and yoga, she has spent most of her time studying impractical things (like art, acrobatics and dance).
