You can't go
wrong with Horrid Henry, the revolting little boy who has wooed and won stern
hearts with his dirty knees and falling-down socks plus his determination to be
in the middle of everything. To his well-meaning parents and to every adult
whose path he crosses, he is the ultimate nightmare child. His naughtiness is
of the kind all children secretly admire and few dare to aspire to. He doesn't
always mean to be bad, but the best-laid plans have a habit of going wrong -
and you can't help sympathising with anyone who has a little brother like
Perfect Peter. "A Helping of Horrid Henry"
combines three of the very best "Henry wreaks havoc" tales in one chunky
helping, making it the ideal book for long journeys and school holidays: even
the most reluctant reader will find Henry hard to resist. |
