Purchase options and add-ons

Henry is up to his usual mischief: annoying his younger brother, ruining Moody Margaret's sleepover, and irritating his teacher, Mrs. Battleaxe―not to mention trying to manipulate his family into seeing his favorite band―the Killer Boy Rats.

"Kids will love reading the laugh-out-loud funny stories about someone whose behavior is even worse than their own." ―School Library Journal

"Not since 'Nate the Great' has an early reader series created such a buzz." ―Los Angeles Times

"Will engage even the most reluctant readers."

―Publishers Weekly

I personally have not read them - - - Horrid Henry Rocks, Horrid Henry and the Zombie Vampire, and Horrid Henry's Monster Movie - - -

But when my 9-year-old grandson unwrapped them his face lit up and he said "Kool! Horrid Henry -- And I got 3 of them."

What better reaction could one receive?

Mission Accomplished!

My 8 year old son laughs and laughs reading these books. He says they are really funny. He stays interested in them all the way through. He likes that Horrid Henry does everything wrong. It makes him feel better about himself. Both parents also found the books entertaining and well-written.

My son is 7 years old and really loved this book. We took turns reading the book aloud, and I think he liked that the best. I ordered 3 other Horrid Henry books for him because he liked it so much.

1.0 out of 5 stars So bad
Reviewed in the United States on March 30, 2014
Verified Purchase
I am a pretty easy-going guy. I joke about farts occasionally with my son, and am by no means a prude. Yet I was shocked at how vulgar and unredeeming these stories are! Before I actually read a story, my 8-year old had read about 15 of these books, and he became noticeably meaner to his sister, cruder, and ruder. Henry is a kid, who is mean, conniving, hateful, and dirty. He has a brother he torments, named Perfect Peter. There is literally no redeeming feature about Henry. He lies and hurts people. He speaks in a vulgar manner. He schemes, he talks back, he says bad things about his family. He even has a pet stuffed animal named, get this, are you ready -- Mr. Kill.

Tonight, I wrote a note to my son's second grade teacher telling her he has been disallowed from reading any more Horrid Henry books.

With all the great books out there, stay away from this rubbish.
