Review

'Naughty boys and doting parents alike will love ... will appeal to any age. The devilish child, most wonderfully brought to life by Miranda Richardson, sees off any and all opposition to get what he wants' -- DAILY EXPRESS

This review is from: Horrid Henry Tricks the Tooth Fairy (Paperback)

I bought this book for the 6 year old daughter of a friend who has moved from London, England to Houston with her family. I chose the tooth fairy one as six year olds' teeth seem to fall out with such frequency that you question whether they've developed scurvy overnight!

Horrid Henry (HH) is a popular fellow back here in Blighty on account of being rather naughty - we have a particular fondness for school boys thumbing their noses at authority - HH seems to be picking up from where Richmal Crompton's Just William left off with the previous generation. (see [...]).

My friend has said that her two daughters (aged 6 and 4) love the book but are a bit shocked about how naughty Henry is and don't always seem to appreciate the humour (however I think this is written as much for tired parents reading to offspring at the end of a long day as much as for the youngsters!)

There are also many more Horrid Henry books to choose from..........

This review is from: Horrid Henry Tricks the Tooth Fairy (Paperback)

Do you like tricking the tooth fairy? If so, you should get this book. It's called Horrid Harry Tricks the Tooth Fairy. It's about all of Harry's classmates and his brother's lost a tooth. One night Harry went to his brother's room and stole his tooth. Can you figure out what will happen? My favorite part was when Harry juggled rings. I recommend you should buy this book because it will make you laugh. Get started laughing!

This review is from: Horrid Henry Tricks the Tooth Fairy (Paperback)

"When Perfect Peter's tooth falls out, Henry gets a great idea. He will steal the tooth and put it under his own pillow so that the Tooth Fairy gives him the reward instead of Peter. Will the Tooth Fairy fall for it?"

Horrid Henry is a fictional character created by Francesca Simon and illustrated by Tony Ross. The first Horrid Henry was written and published in 1994 and as of the end of 2008, there have been sixteen titles published, as well as numerous collections, activity books and joke books.

Horrid Henry Tricks the Tooth Fairy is the 3rd book in the continuing tales of Henry and his family and friends. This book contains the following stories: "Horrid Henry Tricks the Tooth Fairy," "Horrid Henry's Wedding," "Moody Margaret Moves In," and "Horrid Henry's New Teacher."

Margaret spying on his treasures, sleeping in his bed, playing with his toys while he had to share a room with Peter ...
and so begins my favorite story of this book. Moody Margaret lives next door to Horrid Henry and she will be spending two weeks with Henry's family while her own family is on vacation. Will this be the beginning of World War III? Moody Margaret does not like Horrid Henry and Horrid Henry does not like Moody Margaret. But Henry's parents soon learn that Margaret and Henry are cut from the same cloth.
