Review

'Horrid Henry is as rude and awful as ever and his Christmas is full of hilarious disasters. Francesca Simon fans will love this book.' -- WARWICK BOOKS NEWSLETTER

'Horrid Henry is at it again! Four stories to make you ache with laughter... Rollicking fun.' -- CAROUSEL

'More Python-esque rollicking yarns abou the rumbustious Henry (who is, of course, just misudnerstood rather than horrid) and his annoyingly sweet sibling. Let's just say, you will be rooting for Henry.' -- BIG ISSUE IN SCOTLAND

'a new sparkling collection.' -- Emma Bromidge, THE LADY

'four fabulously funny tales... an ideal stocking filler for fans of all ages.' -- Natasha Harding, THE SUN

'he is naughtier than ever. When the school stages a nativity play he is the innkeeper, but he tells Mary and Joseph that there is room after all and ruins the play! My favourite bit is when he writes his mummy a rude poem instead of giving her a proper present.' -- Leo Taylor (Age 6), INDEPENDENT ON SUNDAY

'hilarious and subversive' -- Sarah Webb, IRISH INDEPENDENT

'once heard, you'll never forget the delicious mayhem of Horrid Henry's Christmas Cracker.' -- Kati Nicholl, DAILY EXPRESS

'perfect both for over-excited children and stressed-out parents, who will recognise most of th seasonal disasters caused or endured by the revoltingly selfish child.' -- Amanda Craig, THE TIMES

'the kids will love it' -- WITH KIDS

5.0 out of 5 stars Cracking read! 6 Oct 2006
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
Well, we got the book yesterday and I read the first story to my 7 year old tonight, who's a true HH fan. We both expected some great stories and we weren't to be disappointed - the first story about the Christmas Play had me in hysterics. Me, a grown adult of nearly 40 years, suddenly finding myself immersed in the humour that reminds me of Python! Without going into detail and spoiling the story, Francesca Simon sets the scene beautifully, elegantly placing all the parts of the story before you, before ripping into the mayhem in true HH style. Can't wait to read the rest of it! Highly recommended.

5.0 out of 5 stars Horrid Henry- a Nightmare child 29 Mar 2008
Format:Paperback
We loved this Horrid Henry story in my family, especially the first chapter when HH spoils the Nativity play in order to get a bigger speaking part for himself! My seven year old son thought it was hilarious that HH said that there was room at the inn for Mary and Joseph (played by Moody Margaret and Perfect Peter). HH is every teacher's worst nightmare pupil, but you cannot help laughing at the things he does and says. We love all the Horrid Henry books and eagerly await every single one when it is released!

5.0 out of 5 stars horrid herny 12 Dec 2007
Format:Paperback
Horrid henry books always make me chuckle and this is no exeption they are funny for adults and children alike and they use a wide range of topics. The one slight critisisum i have of it is that i find that some of the stories can be a tad repetative at times. Overall a great fun book sutable for all ages and it is garretied to make you laugh!
