This book lived up to his expectations  Horrid Henry is like most boys: he always has a plan and is always getting into mischief  It was amusing, and he could not put it down. Can't wait for the next. He read it cover to cover by himself in 2 days  That for me sells a book  He can't wait for the next one to be published. He has recommended it to all his friends. \u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eMrs. Tami Gold, Parent\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eReaches both boys and girls equally\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Wonderfully appealing to girls and boys alike, a precious rarity at this age. \u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eJudith Woods, Times Books\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eA global publishing phenomenon with 12 million copies sold \u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eWHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING ABOUT HORRID HENRY: \u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eParents reading them aloud may be consoled to discover that Henry can always be relied upon to behave worse than any of their own offspring. \u003cb\u003eIndependent\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAn absolutely fantastic series and surely a winner with all children.
