Four complete stories enhanced by Miranda Richardson's manic reading and really horrid music and sound effects: Horrid Henry makes a stinkbomb that becomes a weapon in a deadly intrigue between two double agents (Perfect Peter and Moody Margaret), creates chaos in his team project (to build the Parthenon), accepts an invitation to a sleepover from the new kid at school, and acquires a new pet - a tarantula, of course.

Review
'This is a really good book with funny pictures.' -- Lamorna McNevin (age 8), Junior Education
'a funny little book' [One of Sally Gunnell's 'My Six Best Books'] -- Sally Gunnell, DAILY EXPRESS
"Children...enjoy the smelliness, naughtiness and sheer anarchy of these stories...Tony Ross's lively illustrations enhance the quirkiness of the book." -- School Librarian, Spring 2003
"Henry...is up to his usual dastardly tricks...intent as always on spoiling everyone's fun, as he plots devious plans to upset all and sundry." -- Junior Magazine, 1 April 2003
"Inventive and funny, with appeal for boys and girls alike, and super illustrations by Tony Ross" -- Jewish Chronicle, 6 December 2002
"The four short stories about Henry and his friends and enemies are full of comedy - often at Henry's expense. "Reading was hard heavy work," complains Henry at one point. But this isn't true of these books. His conniving wheeling and dealing never quite pays off, to the reader's great delight." -- Kathryn Ross, The Scotsman, 19 October 2002 --This text refers to an alternate Paperback edition.

Purchased for my 8 year old son, he seemed to enjoy these as he asked for additional stories for his kindle (when I asked him but, he didn't actually equest on his own, hence 4 stars not 5).
5.0 out of 5 stars

This review is from: Horrid Henry's Stinkbomb (Kindle Edition)
I purchase and read the Horrid Henry books for my 5 year old grandson. When he visits he loves for me to read to him, and the antics of Henry has him laughing out loud. Horrid Henry is a brat and a troublemaker but things usually work out for him in the end.Horrid Henry is a little stinker, but he does get the interest going in small children. They seem to love him.
