About This Book

A parent might reach for this book when their child is pushing boundaries, delighting in a bit of mischief, or simply needs a book that will make them laugh out loud. This collection features four stories about Horrid Henry, a boy who loves to cause trouble, much to the dismay of his goody-two-shoes brother, Perfect Peter. The book explores themes of sibling rivalry, frustration, and the pure joy of a well-executed (or hilariously failed) prank. It is perfectly suited for early chapter book readers, especially reluctant ones, as its fast-paced humor and celebration of cheeky fun provide a safe, fictional outlet for exploring rule-breaking and independence.
