Horrid Henry: Horrid Henry's Nits

Illustrated by Tony Ross

Horrid Henry creates havoc wherever he goes. To his well-meaning parents and to every adult whose path he crosses, he is the ultimate nightmare child. His naughtiness is of the kind all children secretly admire and few dare to aspire to. He doesn't always mean to be bad, but the best-laid plans have a habit of going wrong - and you can't help smypathising with anyone who has a little brother like Perfect Peter . . .

The word on Horrid Henry has spread like wildfire. Set in the familiar present-day world of home and school, and peopled with archetypal characters like Moody Margaret and Stuck-up Steve, the books appeal equally to boys and girls over a wide age span. There are four hilarious stories in each book, with big easy-to-read type liberally illustrated with Tony Ross's comic drawings.
