Christmas gives Horrid Henry every opportunity to behave as badly as possible. First there are all the wrong presents – gloves, a dictionary and a pen, pencil and ruler set. Yuck – they are all a disappointment. There’s no sign of the Zapatron Hip Hop Dinosaur or Terminator Gladiator fighting kit which is what he really wanted. But there is still Christmas lunch to look forward to...what could possibly go wrong?
Horrid Henry would much rather have pizza and chips for his Christmas lunch, and this year, he might just get his way...This is the 100th book in the phenomenally popular Early Reader format, published during Henry's 20th anniversary year - make sure to celebrate with Henry this Christmas!
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.
