“Horrid Henry is a fabulous antihero…a
modern comic classic.”
—Guardian“Wonderfully
appealing to girls and boys alike,
a precious rarity at this
age.” —Judith Woods,
Times“The
best children’s comic writer.”—Amanda Craig,
The Times“
I love the Horrid Henry books by Francesca Simon.
They have lots of
funny bits in. And Henry always gets into trouble!” —Mia, age 6,
BBC Learning Is
Fun“My
two boys love this book, and
I have actually had tears running down my face
and had to stop reading because of laughing so hard.”
—T. Franklin, Parent“It’s
easy
to see why Horrid Henry is the bestselling character for five- to eight-year-olds.”
—Liverpool
Echo
“Francesca Simon’s truly horrific little boy is
a monstrously
enjoyable creation.
Parents love them because Henry makes their own little darlings
seem like angels.” —Guardian
Children’s Books Supplement“I
have tried out the Horrid
Henry books with groups of children as a parent, as a babysitter, and as a teacher.
Children love to either hear them read aloud or to read them themselves.”
—Danielle Hall, Teacher“ A flicker of recognition must pass through most teachers and
parents when they read Horrid Henry.
There’s a tiny bit of him in all of us.”
—Nancy
Astee,
Child Education“As
a teacher…it’s great to get a series of books my class
loves.
They go mad for Horrid Henry.” —A teacher“Henry
is a beguiling hero who has
entranced millions of reluctant readers.”
—Herald“An
absolutely fantastic series a d
2
surely a winner with all children. Long live Francesca Simo and her brilliant books!
More, more please!”—A parent“Laugh-out-loud reading for both adults and
children alike.”
—A parent“
Horrid Henry certainly lives up to his name, and his
antics are everything you hope your own child will avoid—which is precisely why
younger children so enjoy these tales.”
—Independent
on Sunday“Henry
might be unbelievably naughty, totally wicked, and
utterly horrid, but
he is frequently credited with converting the most reluctant
readers into enthusiastic ones…superb
in its simplicity.” —Liverpool
Echo“Will
make
you laugh out loud.”—Sunday
Times“Parents
reading them aloud may be consoled to
discover that Henry can always be relied upon to behave worse than any of their own
offspring.” —Independent“
What is brilliant about the books is that Henry never does
anything that is subversive.
She creates an aura of supreme naughtiness (of which
children are in awe) but points out that he operates within a safe and secure world…
eminently readable
books.” —Emily Turner,
Angels and Urchins“Inventive
and funny,
with appeal for boys and girls alike, and super illustrations by Tony Ross.”—Jewish
Chronicle“Accompanied
by fantastic black-and-white drawings, the book is a joy to
read.
Horrid Henry has an irresistible appeal to everyone—child and adult alike!
He
is the child everyone is familiar with—irritating, annoying, but you still cannot help
laughing when he gets into yet another scrape. Not quite a devil in disguise but you
cannot help wondering at times! No wonder he is so popular!”
—Angela Youngman
