Horrid Henry's Big Bad Book by Francesca Simon
Ten favourite Horrid Henry stories, all about school. He gives the class nits, encounters a demon dinner lady, does his best to sabotage the school sports day, finds ingenious ways to get round doing his homework and reading books, and is publicly mortified by a pair of pink underpants. Francesca Simon has supplied extra material - complete lists of Horrid Henry's favourite and most hated teachers and classmates, accounts of his best and worst lessons, pages from his exercise book, school reports, a poem by himself, and more. Tony Ross has specially coloured some of the pictures and added some new ones, to make this a gorgeous new collection that all Horrid Henry fans will adore, even if they've read the stories already.
"Henry's sharp wit and disregard for authority make him the ideal short-story hero - especially when the subject is schoolPlenty of dialogue, large text and fun illustrations make this an energetic read. What's more, it's split neatly into 10 short stories to encourage new readers". Junior Magazine, 1 Feb 05
