Horrid Henry Meets the Queen (Book & CD) [Paperback]

Francesca Simon (Author)

Book Description

Series: Book & CD | Publication Date: September 2, 2004

Four uproarious new stories enhanced by Miranda Richardson's inspired reading and really horrid music and sound effects, in which the Queen visits Horrid Henry's school and watches the children make wattle and daub; and Horrid Henry tries to hypnotise Moody Margaret, tricks Perfect Peter into doing his household chores, and gets his own way at bathtime.
