Ross uses small illustrations throughout the story to increase the flow and to add more detail to the story. The illustrations break up the text and also paint a better picture for some of the things that may be a little abstract for a 2nd grader to think about. The cover shows a picture of a young boy (Henry) and would automatically be appealing to a boy this age and likes to think outside the box. Simon’s text is large and is broken up into short sentences. The chapter lengt...more

While more humorous and more grammatically correct than the Captain Underpants books, I still don't think it's great reading. BUT my 6-year old reads a lot of non-fiction so this is a welcome change of pace for him. It makes him laugh and that's a sound that I cherish, so therefore, I give it decent rating.
This series is on my "consideration" list to buy for the school library. I think it will be a hit with a certain group of students. It's not my cup of tea today, although even I had to smile at some of the antics. The first chapter (the hike) was my favorite. I also chuckled at the restaurant. I wasn't brave enought to try escargot while at the posh eatery overlooking a river fort, but I did eat the frog legs.
This was my first introduction to Horrid Henry, and I really liked him! The snarky sense of humor will totally appeal to kids like my daughter. The stories are short and illustrated, so they read quickly. Great for second-fourth graders.
This book is funny because Horrid Henry is always doing things to his brother, Perfect Peter, and then Perfect Peter tries to do something back. It's funny how it turns out in the end!
I can see our 2nd grade teacher reading this aloud to the kids and their loving it! And there are MANY more in the series!
very funny!!!I can't really remember what happened as I read it ages ago!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Rather enjoyed this one. A good bit of variety in them, including one story where Perfect Peter *gasp* tries to be naughty!
fantastically funny, or so my eight year old thinks!
This was one of the first book to ever read, and i had enjoy this book for most of my childhood.This book is a bout a boy who lives with his mum and dad and younger brother who he hates very much.In this series Henry tricks his brother into thinking he's got back into time which is a successful prank for Henry.This is a great book for reading during a long durance ride or in you're spare time. This could also b a great reading aloud book for many subjects such as, Reading groups, English reading...more

nothin tu learn only bad stuff
interesting...
The mega mean time machine was brilliant, I couldn't read the story properly because I was laughing so much. Henry is so mean to Peter, he's contantly tricking him and Peter is always so gullible. Henry loves to trick his younger brother and he uses a cardboard box this time to convince Peter he's from the future. A fantastic book for kids & adults!
The titile made it look and sound more interesting than it really was. The book was quite interesting but not as good as expectations.
This book was given to me by Henry. I think that it was quite good.
