Henry's Forest is a magazine story, illustrated using photographs from the television series.

Plot
Henry's favourite place on Sodor is the forest. He loves to puff past the trees and plants and say hello to all the animals.

One night, the engines are in the shed when they hear the wind blowing very hard outside. Henry worries about the forest and decides to check in the morning. On his way to the forest, he sees what the wind has done to the roof of the sheds and fences, and when he arrives, he sees that lots of trees have indeed been blown down. His driver tells him that the fallen trees will be taken to the timber mill to turn into tables and chairs.

A few days later, the Fat Controller comes to see Toby and notices that he looks miserable. Toby tells him that Henry is very upset about the forest, and the Fat Controller tells him that he wants him to take several trucks of young pine trees ready for planting to the forest. Toby is delighted.

When Henry returns from a trip to the mill, he finds Toby, Terence and Trevor waiting for him. They tell him that the forest is being mended, and Henry is delighted, saying that now all the animals will return, which is just what happens.
