5.0 out of 5 stars Horrid Henry Strikes It Rich, June 7, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Horrid Henry Strikes it Rich (Paperback)

I am 7 1/2 yrs. old and I loved this book, along with the other Horrid Henry books. Henry is horrible, especially to his younger brother named "Perfect Peter". But the things Henry does are very funny - they make me laugh. There are 4 chapters in this book. My favorite chapter is the last one titled "Horrid Henry's Christmas". I laughed when Henry switched the his name tags on the Christmas gift with his cousin "Stuck-up Steve". The words are written in British, but I understand them and enjoy learning the new words.

5.0 out of 5 stars Horrid is as Horrid Does, July 8, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Horrid Henry Strikes it Rich (Hardcover)

This book is charming and my children love it. They can never get enough rereadings and seem to laugh at all the mischief Henry manages to inflict on his family. Since Henry's parents seem to favor his brother, Perfect Peter, this is Henry's chance to star on his own. I recommend it highly.
