Product Description

Sue Baker, PUBLISHING NEWS
'performed with the usual verve and inspiration we expect in this series.'

Review
'performed with the usual verve and inspiration we expect in this series.' (Sue Baker PUBLISHING NEWS )

'Four interlinked stories lead up to the nightmare before and during Christmas as the awful child ruins his school Nativity play and enjoys the worst Christmas lunch ever. The scratchy, punky music will put your teeth on edge and Richardson's voice is like broken glass in treacle as she relishes the ghastly details about spiders in wreaths, frozen turkey and revolting relations. It will have you laughing helplessly all the way to Boxing Day and beyond.' (Amanda Craig THE INDEPENDENT )

'Top 10 audiobook' (THE OBSERVER )

'once heard, you'll never forget the delicious mayhem of HORRID HENRY'S CHRISTMAS CRACKER.... Perfect for 3-7s.' (Kati Nicholl DAILY EXPRESS )

'excellent voices for each of the characters so each one is easily identifiable.... music and sound effects add to the enjoyment.... This audio version would be suitable for listening to as a class or could be used for group reading, whilst the children followed along with the book - that is, if you don't mind the uncontrollable laughter. I believe it would encourage even the most reluctant reader' (http://www.writeaway.org.uk )

5.0 out of 5 stars Cracking read!, 6 Oct 2006
By Richard Mallett (Kent, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Well, we got the book yesterday and I read the first story to my 7 year old tonight, who's a true HH fan. We both expected some great stories and we weren't to be disappointed - the first story about the Christmas Play had me in hysterics. Me, a grown adult of nearly 40 years, suddenly finding myself immersed in the humour that reminds me of Python! Without going into detail and spoiling the story, Francesca Simon sets the scene beautifully, elegantly placing all the parts of the story before you, before ripping into the mayhem in true HH style. Can't wait to read the rest of it! Highly recommended.

5.0 out of 5 stars horrid herny, 12 Dec 2007
By R. Harrison "rts fan" (uk) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Horrid henry books always make me chuckle and this is no exeption they are funny for adults and children alike and they use a wide range of topics. The one slight critisisum i have of it is that i find that some of the stories can be a tad repetative at times. Overall a great fun book sutable for all ages and it is garretied to make you laugh!

5.0 out of 5 stars Horrid Henry- a Nightmare child, 29 Mar 2008
By Bookworm (North Yorkshire) - See all my reviews
We loved this Horrid Henry story in my family, especially the first chapter when HH spoils the Nativity play in order to get a bigger speaking part for himself! My seven year old son thought it was hilarious that HH said that there was room at the inn for Mary and Joseph (played by Moody Margaret and Perfect Peter). HH is every teacher's worst nightmare pupil, but you cannot help laughing at the things he does and says. We love all the Horrid Henry books and eagerly await every single one when it is released!
