Reviews for Horrid Henry and the Soccer Fiend

[kimjd_2 · Rating: 3 out of 5 stars]

Grades 1-3

Also reviewed: Horrid Henry

Both volumes are library-bound reissues of previously published Horrid Henry stories

Horrid Henry is back and is as unrepentent as ever. Each volume contains four short stories of Henry's antics-- clothes-shopping with his mother, trying to outdo his classmates in a soccer match, creating Glop with his neighbor Moody Margaret, and thinking of new ways to terrorize his brother Perfect Peter. There is much screaming and screeching and bellowing and hissing among all involved, but kids love characters who just can't seem to stay out of trouble-- think "No David" a few years later and in early-reader chapter book form.
