Horrid Henry

by Francesca Simon

Ages 6–9 Reading age 7 Short chapters Set in everyday life funnysilly

Henry is dreadful and his brother Peter is perfect, which is most of the trouble. Four stories of dancing lessons, sleepovers and unfair punishments.

A story about children and families, funny and silly in tone. We would put it with children of 6–9, and at a reading age of about 7 for reading alone.

Nothing flagged

We have not flagged any content in this one that a parent would usually want warning about.

Part of a series

This is book 1 of the Horrid Henry series, so there is more to read if it goes down well — which is worth a great deal with a reluctant reader.

Or let them write their own.

Nothing gets a child reading like a story they invented themselves. Your child plans the characters and the plot, and we write, illustrate and print it as a real book with their name on the cover as the author.
