Horrid Henry is a familiar character to young children, with millions of books and audio titles sold worldwide and the spin-off cartoon series on television. This particular title is a version of a previously available picture book, reformatted as an ‘Early Reader’. It is the story which first introduced us to the two brothers in which Henry doesn’t take too kindly to the arrival of a sibling (Perfect Peter) and is downright horrid to him. Tony Ross’s unmistakeable illustrations leap out from every page in glorious colour. As the book says, Horrid Henry is utterly wicked and totally brilliant!
