Horrid Henry is getting ready for Christmas

A naughty eight-year-old boy named Henry is hardly a role model. He doesn't like going to school, eating vegetables for lunch, and doing everything adults tell him to do. Henry's behavior terrifies his parents and teachers, but stories about his pranks have been making readers around the world laugh for almost 30 years. They have been translated into 30 languages ​​and have sold more than 22 million copies.

In England, the Horrid Henry books are among the top five most popular library books. Children enjoy reading them on their own and ask for more. What is the secret of such success?

Henry is an incredibly charming antihero. He is likable despite all his pranks because he embodies the little restless "devil" that lives inside each of us.

The situations that Henry finds himself in at school and at home are familiar to all children. “That happened to me too!” they will exclaim after finishing the next story. This joy of recognition is very important, because it helps the child to truly love reading.
All the books about Henry were illustrated by the world-famous British artist Tony Ross.
