Horrid Henry and the Scary Sitter

September 1, 2009
Gr 2-4-Horrid Henry is back in four stories to keep readers rolling with laughter. Irreverent and mischievous as ever, his antics get him through a Halloween with no trick-or-treating (somehow he manages to turn this punishment around to his benefit), a night with the world's worst babysitter, a stealthy encounter with a girls' Secret Club, and a dreaded christening. Henry makes no excuses for his naughty plots and plans; actually, he's quite proud of his evil cleverness. His little brother, Perfect Peter, provides a built-in enemy. Lively cartoon drawings add to the silly tone of the book. Horrid Henry's fans and newbies will surely want more from this troublemaker after reading this collection. A hilarious treat from Britain."Amanda Moss Struckmeyer, Middleton Public Library, WI"
