About This Book

A parent might reach for this book when their child is fixated on fairness, pushing every boundary, or locked in a classic sibling rivalry. This book contains four short, hilarious stories about Horrid Henry, a boy who feels the world is against him and concocts elaborate (and usually disastrous) plans for revenge against his perfect little brother, his parents, and his rivals. It validates feelings of anger and jealousy in a safe, comedic space. For ages 6 to 9, its over the top humor provides a perfect outlet for kids who feel misunderstood and allows parents to open conversations about behavior and consequences without being preachy.

What Parents Should Know

Moral AmbiguityModerate

Protagonist's bad behavior is the focus and often has comedic, not corrective, consequences.

Sensitive Topics

The book's primary sensitivity is its celebratory depiction of bad behavior. The approach is entirely humorous and secular. Resolutions are not moralistic; Henry rarely learns a lesson in the traditional sense. His punishments are usually just the natural, comedic unraveling of his own schemes. It is a lighthearted take on childhood misbehavior.
