A Giant Slice of Horrid Henry 3-in-1: Horrid Henry's Stinkbomb, Horrid Henry's Underpants, Horrid Henry Meets the Queen

Horrid Henry #10-12

by Francesca Simon, Tony Ross (Illustrator)

Horrid Henry's evil plans so often go awry - and every child in the country loves hearing about them! The three books in this collection include twelve of the classic stories about this nightmare child, among them the one in which he's given some embarrassingly pink underpants, the one in which he devises a cunning plan to get out of doing chores, and the one in which he shows Perfect Peter how to bow to the Queen, with disastrous results.

About the author

Francesca Simon grew up in California and attended both Yale and Oxford Universities, where she specialised in Medieval Studies. How this prepared her to write children’s books she cannot imagine, but it did give her a thorough grounding in alliteration.

She 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 (US). After her son Joshua was born in 1989, she started writing children’s books full time. One of the UK’s best-selling children’s writers, Francesca has published over 50 books, including the immensely popular HORRID HENRY series, which has now sold over twelve million copies.

Francesca won the Children’s Book of the Year in 2008 at the British Book Awards for Horrid Henry and the Abominable Snowman. HORRID HENRY is published in 24 countries and is also an animated CITV series. She lives in London with her husband, son, and Tibetan Spaniel, Shanti.

Kind of a book which u can read to ur child and tell her/ him that these are not the things to be done by them.

This book has 3 books in 1. However,most good book was Horrid Henry’s underpants.That book was about one day,Henry’s grandma presented underpants to Henry. But that was girl’s underpants. What can he do?

Well Henry mentions the Ancient Greeks ‘Ate their children for tea’ with a nice picture, looking at you Tantalus 😂 So the Head teacher is Mrs Oddbod, and Miss Battle-Axe’s first name is ‘Boudicca’, very apt 😉 Gobble and Go sounds like my birthday trips to Pizza Hut lol, and I love the story of Great Aunt Greta giving Henry frilly pink knickers, very funny 😂 And some more ethic representation with pictures of Brainy Brian!

Same thing over and over again. Getting a bit boring to be honest.

Full of rib-tickling antics
