Horrid Henry

""A book that is sure to cause an outbreak of giggles."" - Bookjourney ""As horrid a child as he is, Henry still manages to be strangely endearing."" - Everead ""We loved all the stories in this book and what a great book to read the week of Christmas."" - Books Upon a Wee One's Shelf ""It's sure to delight even the toughest scrooge. Horrid Henry never disappoints and your young readers will enjoy finding this under the tree right next to a mega-sized Waterblaster or Space Howler."" - Examiner.com ""The hilarious story line, the comic-like illustrations and short stories make it great for reluctant readers. Francesca Simon and Tony Ross (Illustrator) are genius!"" - SMS Book Reviews ""Henry is really and truly horrid... and through use of his horridness, your child(ren) will be drawn in and giggling in no time!"" - Katie's Literature Lounge ""The anecdotes are the stuff of classic Christmas tales -- reminiscent of moments found in Charlie Brown Christmas specials, and movies like "A Christmas Story" and "Simon Birch." Each story is lovingly illustrated by Tony Ross, whose depictions of Henry and his family are reminiscent of Roald Dahl."" - Examiner.com ""Chapter book readers can't go wrong with Horrid Henry hilarity - at Christmas or any other time of year!"" - BookLoons ""Horrid Henry is a hit with independent readers."" - 1330V ""This edition contains four stories that will have you shaking your head and laughing out loud." " - KC Books ""The Horrid Henry books are perfect stocking stuffers this holiday."" - Journal America ""Read Horrid Henry's Christmas for funny Christmas stories!"" - Into The Wardrobe ""The stories are short, so they make perfect bedtime reading, and your children may actually be proud of themselves because they could never be as Horrid as Henry!"" - Bobbi's Book Nook ""Henry's penchant for trouble pins him up against Perfect Peter who scored the best part in the school's Christmas play. This and three other yarns will keep all yawns at bay."" - LA Parent ""Nothing says Christmas like a story that includes Pimply Paul."" - Milwaukee Journal Sentinel "In this installment in a best-selling chapter-book series from the U.K., self-centered Horrid Henry wreaks total havoc at the Nativity play, destroys the Christmas tree, and almost ruins the holiday lunch. His irreverent actions are made tolerable through the ridiculousness of the incidents and the appeal to the naughty side in readers' personalities. Ross's mischievous black-and-white cartoon drawings are the perfect choice to carry them off. Large print and simple vocabulary make this title an easy read and a fun read-aloud. Booktalk it with Barbara Robinson's The Best Christmas Pageant Ever (HarperCollins, 1972)." - School Library Journal
