Hairy Henry is a very nice monster. He is called Hairy Henry because he is very hairy and green. Some people think he is quite handsome for a monster. He is usually very happy but one day last week he was very tired.

"I must have a holiday," he said. "I know, I’ll go and visit my cousin in London!"

So Hairy Henry bought a ticket and packed his bag ready for the holiday.

"Hmm, what shall I take? My passport, a guide book, my camera, my sunglasses, my shorts...that’s enough!"

What do you think Hairy Henry will see in London? Read the next page and find out!
