Horrid Henry Meets the Queen

A parent might reach for this book when their child is wrestling with intense sibling rivalry or feels frustrated by always being seen as the 'naughty' one. It's a wonderful, humorous outlet for children who feel overshadowed by a seemingly perfect sibling.

It's pure, chaotic fun that reassures kids it's okay to not be perfect.
