Within this book is the story of Horrid Henry goes shopping, which is a funny story, wherby Horrid Henry, who is a mischievious boy and his brother Perfect Peter, who as the name suggests is perfect, go shopping with their parents. It ends in a nightmare with Horrid Henry trying everything he can not to go, leaving his parents mortified by his antics. The story is very funny for children to read or have read to them as it has a meaning to them. The children related to the story, where there have been times they have not wanted to go shopping and tried their best to not have to go. Also the children who i read this book to commented on the alliteration used in the book and how the illustrations within it made the story even funnier. The childrens attention was constantly on the book throughout me reading it to them and it lead to lots of discussions afterwards within the group of children. A good, meaningful story for children to read.
