his antics."
Meredith Smith, grade school teacher,

"Kids will love reading the laugh-out-loud funny stories about
someone whose behavior is even worse than their own."
School Library Journal
"Will make you laugh out loud."
Sunday Times
"Why Horrid Henry?"
Kids love it!
"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"
"It's easy to see why Horrid Henry is the bestselling character
for 5-8 year olds."
"Liverpool Echo"
Because it's funny
"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.
My oldest son is rereading all the books in this series on his own
now and he still loves them. Happy reading!"
" T. Franklin, Parent"
"A modern comic classic."
"SF Said, Guardian Children's Books Supplement "
Kids get to be harmlessly rebellious
"Henry is a beguiling hero who has entranced millions of reluctant
readers... little rebels will love this collection and even little
angels will be secretly thrilled by Henry's anti-heroic
behaviour."
"Herald"
Henry's naughtiness is a yardstick against which children can
get a sense of their own moral goodness and social justice
"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."
"Emily Turner, Angels And Urchins Magazine"
Reaches the most important age group - children who are learning
to read
"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. The books
are spot on for the 5-8 age range and are fun for the adults who
share them too."
"Danielle Hall, Teacher"
The structure provides new readers with a real sense of
accomplishment
"My son is 7 years old and a big Horrid Henry fan. This book lived
up to his expectations! Horrid Henry is like most boys: he always
has a plan and is always getting into mischief! It was amusing, and
he could not put it down. Can't wait for the next. He read it cover
to cover by himself in 2 days! That for me sells a book! He can't
wait for the next one to be published. He has recommended it to all
his friends."
"Mrs. Tami Gold, Parent"
Reaches both boys and girls equally
"Wonderfully appealing to girls and boys alike, a precious rarity
at this age."
"Judith Woods, Times Books"
A global publishing phenomenon with 12 million copies sold!
"WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING ABOUT HORRID HENRY: "
"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
"An absolutely fantastic series and surely a winner with all
children. My son took this book as his favourite during book week
at his school and converted a few children to the cause. Long live
Francesca Simon and her brilliant books! More, more please!"
"My 5-year-old adores them so much he couldn't wait to start
reading because of them."
"I really like Horrid Henry and like reading it to my dad. It's
funny!"
Matthew, 9, St. Albans
"Horrid Henry is a fabulous anti-hero: monstrously selfish and
greedy, he does things most children only dream about... a modern
comic classic."
The Guardian
"My 6-year-old son has now read the whole series unaided and is
quite content to re-read the stories again and again. My 5-year-old
is dying to be able to read well enough so she can read them
independently too!"
"Henry is really naughty and makes me laugh. He's very funny and
he has lots of adventures."
Martha, age 5, Bella
"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."
Child Education
"It didn't even make it to the library shelves and there's a
long waiting list for it! Enough said."
Nancy Astee, Child Education
"A definite must for every teacher - reading about Henry makes
your naughtiest child seem like a saint!"
"As a teacher of 8-year-olds, it's great to get a series of
books my class love... They torment me to lend them the books so
they can read them on their own. Need I say more?"
