About This Book
This installment of the popular Horrid Henry series features four fresh, funny short stories about the titular mischievous boy, Henry, and his long-suffering family and friends. Readers will follow Henry as he attempts to make a monster movie, endures a dreaded dance class, engages in a rivalry with his archenemy Moody Margaret, and tries to sabotage a family camping trip. The book playfully explores themes of sibling rivalry, friendship, and the consequences of Henry's 'horrid' behavior, often with unexpected outcomes. It's ideal for children aged 6-9 who enjoy humorous, relatable stories about everyday antics and a protagonist who isn't always perfect.
Four brand-new stories in which Horrid Henry makes his own scary movie. Illustrations.
