Horrid Henry (Bk. 1)

In this first collection of stories about the master of mischief, Henry is dragged to dance class, competes with his brother Perfect Peter, tries to be good but finds he’s bad at it, and battles his nemesis Moody Margaret over the world’s yuckiest glop.

“Kids who love funny books will love the ‘Horrid Henry’ series by Francesca Simon… Simon’s hilariously dead-pan text is wonderfully complemented by Tony Ross’s illustrations, which comically capture the consequences of Henry’s horridness.” — Scripps Howard News Service

“For kids beginning to read independently, ‘Horrid Henry’ by Francesca Simon and Tony Ross arrived from England this year, importing sophisticated humor and a sly approach to storytelling.” — Los Angeles Times
