Praise for this book

"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
"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
