Horrid Henry and the Abominable Snowman [Audiobook, Unabridged] [Audio Cassette]

Simon Francesca (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: October 4, 2007 | Series: Horrid Henry

Building a snowman brings out Henry's competitive streak; he sets up his Monstrous Makeovers business to rival Moody Margaret's Miraculous Makeovers; things go badly wrong when a famous author comes to school; and he thinks 'You'll all be sorry when I'm dead' and spends a rainy day writing his will.

Editorial Reviews

Review

The things that Henry does do provoke laughter and I can honestly say that I and my daughter truly enjoyed the story itself and the characters within. (Dad of Divas )

What's great about Horrid Henry is that he's the kid deep within us all. He's rather like the "invisible friend" that provokes bad actions and catches all the blame. (Bookworm Sez )

Finally, in April of last year, 15 years after Horrid Henry's first appearance in England, he arrived in the U.S. He has been a great hit with readers here, especially reluctant readers, who love Henry's anarchic shenanigans. Think Dav Pilkey's Captain Underpants with a British accent. (Los Angeles Times ) --This text refers to the Paperback edition.

This review is from: Horrid Henry and the Abominable Snowman (Paperback)

Horrid Henry is back and he's up to mischief again. This time he's trying to win a year's worth of treats from a local ice cream parlor, getting into trouble on a boring rainy day, giving makeovers, and listening to his favorite author in Horrid Henry and the Abominable Snowman.

Author Francesca Simon and illustrator Tony Ross have again brought Henry to life with all his impish ways and devilish plots that somehow don't work out the way he planned. Once again, young readers should delight in this chapter book. And I could certainly identify with Henry's desire to listen to his favorite author read from her work. Horrid Henry is lots of fun.
