NO! screamed Horrid Henry. NO!

Don’t be horrid, Henry, said Dad.

We’d LOVE to hear your new story, Peter, said Mom.

I wouldn’t, said Henry.

Don’t be rude, Henry, said Dad.

Horrid Henry stuck his fingers in his ears and glared.

AAAARRRRRGGGGHHHHH.

Wasn’t it bad enough that he had to sit at the table in front of a disgusting plate filled with—yuck—sprouts and—blecccchh—peas instead of the fries and pizza he had BEGGED Dad to cook for dinner? Did he really have to listen to Peter droning on as well?

This was torture. This was a cruel and unusual punishment. Did any child in the world ever suffer as much as Henry?

It was so unfair! Mom and Dad wouldn’t let him play the Killer Boy Rats during dinner but now they wanted to force him to listen to Peter read his stupid story.

I love Horrid Henry! However, it’s very upsetting that most of the titles weren’t available in this country. (Philippines)
