My 6 year old got interested in the Horrid Henry stories when I started reading the regular versions to him at bedtime. The Early Readers mean he is practising his reading at a good level and thinks it is fun.

We have always had books coming out of the woodwork in our house and with my 9 year-old daughter having read and loved all the Horrid Henry stories a few years ago, his antics have also been well-known and adored by my 6 year-old who, when 4 and 5, after hearing her sister read them out loud, would frequently take a Horrid Henry compilation and 'read' it to herself in bed.
I just so happened to stray upon the early reader version of 'Horrid Henry's Holiday' 2 days ago...and it has been one of the best buys in recent months (and we buy a LOT of books!). Keeping in mind that she only got it on Sunday afternoon, watched the World Cup match, went to a party and had school on the Monday, she had finished the entire story by Monday afternoon as she read it at bedtime, before school, in the car and whenever she got a chance. She LOVED it as, in her words, it was easier to read because the words were easier and there were lots more pictures to help her know what the story was about. Now, as it happens, the text is actually no different to the original but she is right about there being more (colour) pictures; what the early readers do do is break up the text into short, manageable chunks with plenty of pictures to aid comprehension and encourage reasonable stabs at longer, less familiar words. Considering that both the length of the story and the complexity of the language is far greater than the stories she brings home from school, she has done brilliantly and her sense of achievement is noticeably apparent.
I would urge anyone with a similar-aged boy or girl to purchase some of these early readers (I have just ordered another 5..!) as, besides being hilarious stories in themselves with a style/characterisation that children of this age might enjoy mimicking in their own writing, these versions are a great springboard into independent reading. Seeing the delight and pride in my daughter's face at having read an entire 'big girl's' book was priceless.
