horrid henry and his wicked ways

Yes there were some slight repeats, yet my two boy's still laughed and giggled.At the end of the day all us mums and dads want is our children to enjoy reading and it does keep there attention.I have now passed the book on to another to enjoy and i would recommend it!

Too much old material

My kids love Horrid Henry stories but this, as so many other recent editions, depends far too much on rehashed material. Frankly, I think this is a rip off. In the absence of much clearer indications from publishers it is extremely unfair to keep re-releasing volumes that consist mostly of previously published work.

Beware - rehashed material.

Two things to say about this collection: firstly, be very careful that the recipient hasn't already got other HH books containing these stories. Turns out my 7-year old lad had all but one of them! Bit cheap to resurrect stories in this kind of 'greatest hits' publication, particularly since some fans will buy automatically when a new edition is released.

That said, it is a beautiful hardback volume with colour illustrations - a distinct improvement on the original paperbacks. And if you've not come across Henry before, this is an excellent introduction. So - 5 out of 5 for content, less one for the fact that it's basically a rehash.
