Horrid Henrys Underpants Francesca Simon

Four hilarious stories, in which Horrid Henry hits on a brilliant way to write thank you letters, negotiates over vegetables, competes with Perfect Peter over which of them is sickest, and finds himself wearing the wrong underpants, with dreadful consequences. Editorial Reviews Review "Francesca Simon's truly horrific little boy is a monstrously enjoyable creation and these four brand new stories rate high with the unique Horrid Henry yuck factor...Parents love them because Henry makes their own little darlings seem like angels." -- Guardian Children's Books Supplement, Autumn 2003 "Rude, greedy, lazy, wilful and fiendishly clever - it is Henry, not Harry Potter, who - alas represents the modern day child...Francesca Simon...slips her classical learning into the narrative with a skill that Henry's hopeless parents...can never hope to emulate...Tony Ross's inspired illustrations will make parents breathe a deep sigh of relief that the new school term is finally upon us once more. Enjoy." -- Amanda Craig, The Times, 30 August 2003 From the Back Cover Utterly wicked. Totally brilliant. His fiendish plots will make you ache with laughter.
