Horrid Henry Paperback – Illustrated, April 1, 2009

These books are perfect for my 7 year old son. He can read them on his own (levelM) or they are also fun to read together out loud. The stories are long enough Nd hilarious. I would buy all of these books!

Very funny stories! My seven-year-old loses interest in other early chapter book series, but with Horrid Henry she wants to keep reading to find out what happens. The stories are so entertaining that my older children want to read them too, even though they have moved onto more difficult books. I even find myself finishing off a Horrid Henry after my seven-year-old has gone to bed as I don't want to wait until the next night to find out what happens!

This book is very funny and stuff yeah.... read this book and find out what horrid Henry is up to

I will give Horrid Henry 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.

It was separated in 4 stories, it kept his attention, and it was easy to download on IPad, he was able to take a quiz and it counted towards his AR reading goal for school. I will be downloading more of these.

Best book in the world I do not know why I have to use 20 words igloo die die die

I don't know which book a lot of these other reviewers have been reading, but Horrid Henry is a collection of four reasons why it's good to be bad.1. In the first story, Henry decides to try being good, essentially out of curiosity. His (usually) good little brother gets so fed up on Henry's odd behaviour that he starts acting out. The brother (Peter) throws spaghetti at Henry, who dodges; the spaghetti lands on mom. Henry laughs, and is punished. Not punished for being naughty, mind you - punished for being good all day and then laughing when something relatively minor happens to his mother.Naughty: no.Consequences: yes.2. In the second story, Henry is forced to go to dance lessons, which he hates. He'd rather be learning martial arts. He decides to do do his utmost to ruin the big dance recital for everyone involved. He succeeds in doing so, and is no longer forced to go to dance lessons. The story ends with an affirmation of his enrollment in Karate class, and a picture of him destroying a building-block castle.Naughty: yes.Consequences: no.3. In the third story, Henry gets into a competition with his neighbour to see who can make the most disgusting concoction, and then consume it. While doing this, they leave Henry's brother tied up, alone, in the yard; when he comes in to ask after them, the implication is that they force or trick Peter into eating the disgusting concoction. The end.Naughty: yes. And potentially dangerous (leaving someone tied up, alone, in the back yard.)Consequences: no.4. In the fourth story, the family goes camping. Henry whines and complains the whole time. He also tries to knock down tents, and blares loud music late at night to the chagrin of other campers. When Mom, Dad and Peter go for a walk, Henry is tasked with gathering firewood - AND BUILDING THE FIRE HIMSELF. Highly dangerous! For firewood, he pulls out the pegs of the other campers' tents. Not surprisingly, all the tents fall down in the night.Naughty: yes. HIGHLY dangerous (asking a child to stay alone and build and tend a fire. Utterly ridiculous.)Consequences: no.This book in no way shows a connection between acting naughty and any sort of negative consequences. It glorifies such awful behaviour AND seems to suggest that certain potentially LIFE-THREATENINGLY DANGEROUS behaviours are acceptable and normal. If you read this book with your children or students, it is imperative that you have a good discussion about it with them afterwards. I, personally, will not give this to my children, and regret that my supervisors have chosen to develop content for it for our students.
