Product description

Bags of cheeky fun with Henry to help you start reading on your own. Great colour pictures by Tony Ross, with loads of brand new art. And one screamingly funny story – not too long and not too short. Super reading practice for all you tiny terrors. Henry is sitting quietly in class one day, doodling pictures of Miss Battle-Axe being gobbled up by hungry crocodiles, when he hears about the reading competition. The prize is a family ticket to a theme park. Rollercoasters! Water rides! Candyfloss! Henry’s GOT to win – but HOW is he going to read all those books?

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.”

Tony Ross

Multi-award-winning Tony Ross has become one of the best-known creators of original and traditional picture books and his work has been published all over the world. As well as his own books, he has illustrated books for authors such as Roald Dahl, Paula Danziger and Michael Palin.

    I really enjoyed Horrid Henry Reads a Book – the first thing i thought when i first saw this book was henry never reads books- does he?

    My favourite scene was Henry’s eureka moment when he thought of making up his own books that miss battle-axe would not know* and the disappointment when henry won tickets to the newest theme park- book world!

    I rate this book 9/10 you can never get enough of horrid henry!
