Product description

Early Readers are stepping stones from picture books to reading books. A blue Early Reader is perfect for sharing and reading together. A red Early Reader is the next step on your reading journey.

Horrid Henry hates car journeys – especially when it means going to visit Prissy Polly and Pimply Paul, and missing Rude Ralph’s birthday party. Watch out, Mum and Dad, because Henry is prepared to do whatever it takes to get out of this trip.

Francesca Simon is the author of the hugely successful Horrid Henry series, which has sold over 15 million copies. Henry is a terrible (but loveable) tearaway who leaves grown-ups in tears, and playmates cowering! Short chapters and line drawings from Tony Ross make these great choices for newly confident readers.

More about Francesca: “I was born in St Louis, Missouri, grew up in Los Angeles and attended both Yale and Oxford Universities, where I specialised in Medieval Studies. I then threw away a lucrative career as a medievalist and worked as a freelance journalist, writing for the Sunday Times, Guardian, Mail on Sunday, Telegraph, and Vogue.

After my son Joshua was born in 1989, I started writing children’s books full time.

I have published over 50 books, including the immensely popular Horrid Henry series, published in 17 countries and now a successful CITV animation series.

I live in London with my husband, son, and Tibetan Spaniel called Shanti.”

    I think that this book is funny because Horrid Henry and Peter puke on Mum and Dad! I won’t tell you any more in case I spoil it for you! All I’ll say is that Francesca Simmons is a very talented author!

    My favourite part of the book was when they all stopped at the service station for a rest and to go to the toilet and henry locked himself in and pretended to be trapped inside, unfortuanately he had locked himself inside a toilet with a gap underneath! I also liked the good twist at the end… But you will have to read the book to find out!

    I also enjoyed the fact that I could read the whole book in 1 evening as a bedtime story as I could not put it down, iit was so good!

    I rate this book 10/10 because it was the best horrid henry book I have ever read as I could read most of the words rather than getting mum to read most of the words!
