Four new stories from everyone's favourite naughty child.

Building a snowman brings out Henry's competitive streak; he sets up his Monstrous Makeovers business to rival Moody Margaret's Miraculous Makeovers; things go badly wrong when a famous author comes to school; and he thinks 'You'll all be sorry when I'm dead' and spends a rainy day writing his will.

Hilarious story ... ... schon wegen der tollen Vorleserin Miranda Richardson, die man in (fast) allen "Horrid Henry"-Hörgeschichten hört! Fantastische Geschichten um die kleine Monsterbacke Henry. Fantastisch vorgetragen.

I bought this as a gift for my grandson who is sometimes a reluctant reader. He finished it in record time because the story kept his interest better than most books at his reading level. I would buy more in the series.

gefällt mir und meiner 12-jährigen Tochter, die als Englischschülerin hiermit eine lustige zusätzliche Lektüre hat. Allerdings wiederholen sich bei der Lektüre der Horrid Henry Bücher die Formulierungen und Handlungen, es lässt sich voraussehen, was als Nächstes kommt, trotzdem sehr unterhaltsam.

4.0 out of 5 stars Horrid Henry: Abominable Snowman
Reviewed in the United States on 29 December 2013

I will give Horrid Henry and the Abominable Snowman 4 stars because my two grandsons love the Horrid Henry series. My grandsons, 7 and 6, live many distant miles from me, and although I do visit them every few months (at least), in between my fly-in visits I read books and record them so they can have Grandma reading them a bedtime story. The boys and I have spent many nights laughing at the antics of Horrid Henry, but I do involve them in conversations about the fictional nature of Henry and that his fictional behavior is not always appropriate. I want them to enjoy fiction, but I also want them to understand that fiction is not real-life. I would not want my two grandsons emulating Horrid Henry, but I want them to enjoy the books in a kind of Walter Mitty imaginary world.
I think these books are best read to children by an adult so discussions can take place. Even in my recordings, I ask the questions about Henry's behavior that I would if I were sitting with them and reading.
