Henry wants to climb a mountain, and nothing is going to stop him. Then Sam, the tax collector, puts him in jail for not paying his taxes. Henry refuses to pay to a state that allows slavery. But being locked up doesn’t stop Henry. He still gets to splash in rivers, swing from trees, and meet a stranger.

How big does a home really need to be? When Henry decides to build a cabin for himself in the woods, he gets some help and a lot of advice from his friends. But Henry, being Henry, has his own ideas, and he sets about building his house as a bird builds its nest. As he adds everything he thinks his cabin needs, Henry’s new home ends up being a lot bigger than it looks!

《亨利去爬山》本书取材于梭罗《瓦尔登湖》中的一个片段，用充满想象的笔调刻画了一位向往自由生活的小熊亨利的形象。亨利想去爬山，但他的一只鞋送去修理了。在去拿鞋的路上，收税员以不向政府交税的理由把亨利投进监狱。牢门并不妨碍亨利的自由，他拿出画笔在墙上画风景，用自己的想象爬山。他“看到”了花、蜂鸟、大树、河流、瀑布，在云中穿梭，在山顶遇见一位朋友，两人唱了很多很多的歌……想象如小鸟一样自由，像大海一般浩瀚，任何人都无法阻止。

《亨利徒步去菲奇堡》本书的创作題材取自亨利·大卫·梭罗的《瓦尔登湖》中盖小木屋的想法及过程。亨利准备盖一座小木屋，他买了廉价的材料，准备自己建造。建造的过程中，爱默生、奥尔科特、莉迪亚等朋友接连拜访。他们都认为小木屋太小太简陋，在里面吃饭、读书、跳舞多有不便。但亨利很满意，他知道这间小木屋足够大，因为大自然可以做厨房、书房、舞厅……人本该就居住在自然中。崇尚自然和简朴，心灵的自由远大于物质的享受。
