Once again, you came up with some fantastic ideas on social media about What to Read After Horrid Henry.Here are some of the recommendations we received... Maar als zijn vervelende neef, opschepperige Steven, Hendrik bang maakt als hij komt logeren, zet hij het hem betaald, en terecht!

This was truly a harrowing tale of nigh-biblical proportions. Simon honestly grapples with the idea of redemption and to what extent a person is able to forgive. With echoes to genesis, her modern interpretation of the bible tale is far more fitting for a contemporary audience of today, not to mention the metaphor of the feminine God found in the Mother character of the two children. She was all loving, yet all powerful and fair.Henry's next door neighbour and arch-enemy. Margaret often annoys Henry, while Henry torments Margaret by performing horrid deeds. They might deal with things, but they are still enemies. Despite the conflicts between Henry and Margaret, they seem to temporarily strike up as alliances, like in " Horrid Henry's Horrid Revenge", and on many occasions, they have been married or engaged in Henry's dreams. Dit is een erg leuk (voor)leesboek voor jongere kinderen. Hendrik is volgens de volwassenen in het boek erg stout maar eigenlijk is het een gewoon jongetje dat niet altijd even goed begrepen wordt. Zijn broer perfecte Peter is het tegenovergestelde in karakter en doet alles braaf zoals de volwassenen het willen. Eigenlijk best saai. Hendrik reageert zoals elke jongen zou reageren op bepaalde wensen van volwassenen. Balletles is gewoon niet leuk en schreeuwen en stampen is dat soms wel! Toch zijn zijn grapjes niet altijd even aardig. Hij krijgt het voor elkaar zijn perfecte broer vreselijk in de problemen te krijgen door het geluid van de tv keihard te zetten en de wekker van zijn broer een uur vooruit te draaien zodat iedereen zich te pletter schrikt als Peter zijn favoriete tv serie veel te vroeg in de ochtend aanzet... I know how hooked kids get on the Horrid Henry books and I love their enthusiasm!' she says. 'But even Horrid Henry fans need to OCCASIONALLY read something else, and I know they would also adore Steven Butler's The Nothing To See Here Hotel, about a secret holiday resort for magical creatures. 'Henry fans will love the riotous humour, fantastic characters, and spiralling madness as the hotel copes with the arrival of the guest from hell, a goblin prince with a dark secret. Meanwhile, @richardbrenton came with not one, but tworecommendations for us!

He usually appears to be wearing a horizontally yellow striped light blue T-shirt, blue sewn jeans, and the usual green and white shell-toe trainers with yellow laces. His pyjamas are blue, with vertical white stripes. The slippers he wears in his pyjamas have inside looks like a crocodile's face and lime green colour.

The class has to play a concert and everyone is practicing for it. Impatience Tutu makes Henry sit behind a false bush for being horrid at her class so he won't embarrass everyone at the concert. When its time for the concert, Henry decides to make his part bigger and by doing so, makes Impatience Tutu stop the concert this story then ends with Henry being happy to finally go for karate. [2] Horrid Henry & Moody Margaret [ edit ]Flat Stanley, by Jeff Brown (about a boy who gets flattened and the adventures he has because of it) The book 'Horrid Henry' is a collection of four short stories which focus on the daily events of the classic anti-hero protagonist, Horrid Henry. A man who's very identity is described even before his name is given to us. He is not the only character to be named with an overly-simplified, alliterated characteristic; brothers, arch-nemeses and friends alike are all named like this: Perfect Peter, Moody Margaret, Rude Ralph etc. Truly, from names alone we understand that simplified identity will be the core difficulty our protagonist will have to face in his oncoming misadventures.
