Also reviewed: Horrid Henry

Both volumes are library-bound reissues of previously published Horrid Henry stories

Horrid Henry is back and is as unrepentent as ever. Each volume contains four short stories of Henry's antics-- clothes-shopping with his mother, trying to outdo his classmates in a soccer match, creating Glop with his neighbor Moody Margaret, and thinking of new ways to terrorize his brother Perfect Peter. There is much screaming and screeching and bellowing and hissing among all involved, but kids love characters who just can't seem to stay out of trouble-- think "No David" a few years later and in early-reader chapter book form.
horrid henry is a funny and evil kid, what he does is that he fights and teases his younger brother peter who is always nice and good behaving. Henry would always call him names but after peter would tell on him.
i think this book is for intermidiate readers who would like to have a revenge on his/her brother/sister or kids who love funny books
