Henry is terrorizing his classmates at a school sleepover, tricking Perfect Peter into handing over his money, getting out of writing his own story for Miss Battle-Axe, and meeting the Nudie Foodie, a celebrity chef.This is an accelerated reader book. I'm always looking for interesting AR books for my children to read since they have to have so many points every grading period. (AR) reading level 3.8 - AR Pts: 1.0

As always the author brings another fun and exciting Horrid Henry tales. As always you will be amazed at the adventures (or misadventures) that Harry gets himself into. In reading this with my own daughter I have to say that we had a number of great laughs and you will too! If you are already a fan of this book series, you will see that this is another great addition, and if this is your first you will see why so many love these stories!

Horrid Henry and the Zombie Vampire brings back everyone's favorite character. In the first story of this entertaining chapter book, Henry decides to write a story of his own when his brother Perfect Peter's continues to be full of floofy-fairy-fun; Henry could only bear so much sugary-goodness! When his teacher, Miss Battle-Axe, decides decides to have her students write a story Henry thinks hard about what he'd like to write about; unfortunately for him, he clearly remembers his teacher's displeasure at reading about cannibals and Troll Werewolf Mummies... and since Henry wants to get this story writing over with, he quickly borrows Peter's fairy story and jots it down. Boy is Henry surprised when Miss Battle-Axe loves the story and asks him to read it to the kindergarteners... but wait, isn't that Peter's class? What is Henry going to do - will he read the copied story, or will he create a horrid story on the fly!?This book has three more Horrid Henry stories that are accompanied by funny illustrations, drawn by Tony Ross, all showing the terribly horrid and yet amusing situations that Henry gets into. Francesca Simon has created a series that both boys and girls will enjoy reading... and laughing about. Some of the situations are very silly and Henry has a very vivid imagination and some very amusing things to say.One thing to note is that in these stories, the character doesn't actually learn any sort of lesson, he is just the cause of many shenanigans. Great for 7-9 year-old readers.Kidz-Readz Blog ReviewTweenzReadz Blog Review

Unfortunately, I bought each book for my seven year old son. Even he could not believe how "horrible" Henry behaved with absolutely NO consequences. One book has Henry singing about hitting an old person on the head with a cane. I am "horrified" that these books are published and further shocked they have been endorsed by parents. These books are so deplorable I will not pass along to friends or donate. They will end up in the garbage where they belong. Reckless content pretty much sums it up. Oh, I looked at the author's photo and let's just say I wasn't surprised.

Humorous and entertaining, Horrid Henry is sure to captivate young boys and girls alike with tales of his misadventures. Horrid Henry is the epitome of laziness and narcississm. He thinks that the world should bow to him and doesn't understand why his mother and father adore his younger brother, appropriately called Perfect Peter so much. Perfect Peter is a wimp and follows the rules rigidly, yet he still cares for his older brother and wants to spend time with him. Horrid Henry, on the other hand, would score high on the kiddie Mach(iavellian) scale. He doesn't pay attention to others unless he can manipulate them for his own gain. I wouldn't call him a good role model; however, his misadventures call for many laugh out loud moments and, hopefully, will teach kids what not to do.
