Horrid Henry has a new problem—and this time it’s itchy, scratchy, and driving everyone mad! But nits aren’t his only disaster. From dodging a dreaded dancing lesson to battling with Moody Margaret at a sleepover, and even publishing his own scandal-filled newspaper, Henry’s mischief is bigger (and funnier) than ever.
Perfect for readers, who: • Love laugh-out-loud school and family adventures • Enjoy Diary of a Wimpy Kid or Tom Gates for their cheeky humor • Want short, fast-paced stories with outrageous twists and sibling rivalry
Why You'll Love It: ✅ Four hilarious stories in one book, each full of Henry’s outrageous schemes ✅ Francesca Simon’s witty storytelling paired with Tony Ross’s laugh-out-loud illustrations ✅ Familiar situations (school, sleepovers, family life) exaggerated into total chaos
Also consider the below aspects before you select: ❌ Henry’s bad behavior may need gentle discussion about right vs. wrong ❌ Some gross-out humor (like nits!) may not appeal to very sensitive readers
Verdict: Silly, cheeky, and irresistibly funny—Horrid Henry’s Nits is perfect for kids who love outrageous adventures with a horrid twist!
