If you're new to Horrid Henry, then Haunted House, Bogey Babysitter or the original Horrid Henry are probably better starting places. Once your kids have got the HH bug, though, you should definitely pick up a copy. Partly for the sake of having something new to read (instead of endless requests for old favourites), but also because you get Horrid Henry Dines at Restaurant Le Posh, featuring the dreaded Rich Aunt Ruby and Stuck-up Steve (who my daughter loves to hate). The title story is my favourite, though, in which Henry pulls such a mean trick that he's banned from watching TV for the rest of the day, and Perfect Peter...ends up in drag! It's all in the best possible taste, though, and great for a bedtime read.
