Editorial Reviews

Review

"As much as my son enjoys the book, I have to say that I probably like it more. It’s really refreshing (not to mention realistic) to read about a kid that isn’t perfect, that doesn’t always get along with everyone, and that gives his parents a few gray hairs once in a while. The stories are short enough to hold my son’s attention throughout their entire length, but they also have some advanced vocabulary which has provided us with the perfect chance to discuss new words and concepts... Really the best part about them is they’re funny and they encourage kids to read. Horrid Henry is one of those kids that you love to hate, or hate to love: either way he makes for a great protagonist in an amazing series of books!"" ― Giveaway Blogdom

Poor Henry! I feel he was a good kid who got a lot of attention and then his brother came along and got all the attention. Now Henry just really wants attention and love, in my opinion. The stories are always about the little brother being Perfect Peter and even if he isn’t, the parents favor him. I feel bad for Henry.

My kid loves ALL the Horrid Henry books. He has a lot of them and would continue to read any new ones that comes out. Personally, I don't like this mischievious kid. I'm afraid my kid might learn bad behavior from reading these books. But he's a boy and he love reading about that, so if it encourages him to read, I'm for it. The book is not violent,. Horrid Henry is just into pranks and making trouble. I think all kids get a laugh out of that.

1.0 out of 5 stars Not suitable for children
Reviewed in the United States on February 10, 2013
Unfortunately, I bought each book for my seven year old son. Even he could not believe how "horrible" Henry behaved with absolutely NO consequences. One book has Henry singing about hitting an old person on the head with a cane. I am "horrified" that these books are published and further shocked they have been endorsed by parents. These books are so deplorable I will not pass along to friends or donate. They will end up in the garbage where they belong. Reckless content pretty much sums it up. Oh, I looked at the author's photo and let's just say I wasn't surprised.

Mio figlio ha letto il libro in due ore circa. Ho comprato questa serie perché già la conoscevo e sapevo che é una lettura divertente e poco impegnativa per un bimbo di 9 anni. Consigliatissimo!

This book was absolutely amazing! The cover was such a beautiful shade of red and the shading on Henry's face was extremely good. The cover is very intriguing and the story is amazing. The vocabulary is a very high standard and it makes a very enjoyable read. The plot is a gripper and it makes you want to keep reading until you've finished! I loved it!
