Synopsis
8 Horrid Henry stories. Horrid Henry's Christmas Cracker Four fabulously funny stories that will invoke every family's worst Christmas nightmares, as Horrid Henry sabotages the school play, tries to do his Christmas shopping without spending his pocket money, attempts to ambush Father Christmas, and endures Christmas dinner with the guests from hell. Horrid Henry and the Abominable Snowman. Building a snowman brings out Henry's competitive streak; he sets up his Monstrous Makeovers business to rival Moody Margaret's Miraculous Makeovers; things go badly wrong when a famous author comes to school; and he thinks 'You'll all be sorry when I'm dead' and spends a rainy day writing his will.
Review
Another marvelous selection of Horrid Henry Stories, written by Francessca Simon and read by Miranda Richardson.
Henry really does know how to get up everyones nose, and really make them mad with him, but what would we do without these wonderful stories to laugh aboutand visualise when we hear them so expertly read by Miranda. How she does all the voices I just dont know.
My grandson in Scotland loves these stories, and my daughter complains when he tries to do one or two of the things our Henry does! But boys will be boys I suppose Henry is todays equivalant of Jennings and his school pals of our young radio children's hour in the 50's.
Well done for another brilliant collection.
