About This Book
Horrid Henry and the Zombie Vampire is a collection of four short, humorous stories featuring the notoriously naughty Henry. In the titular story, Henry attempts to turn a boring school museum sleepover into a thrilling, spooky event with his imaginative (and disruptive) plans. The book also delves into Henry's ongoing rivalry with his 'Perfect' younger brother, Peter, and his interactions with friends and adults. Parents will appreciate the book's ability to normalize feelings of frustration and the desire to be mischievous, all within a lighthearted, comedic framework. It's an excellent choice for children aged 4-11, particularly those who enjoy relatable school and family antics and a good laugh.
Henry knows that a class sleepover at a museum can only be one thing--boring! So he's invited a few party crashers to liven things up...zombie vampires! Plus three other stories that will leave you screaming for more.
