Don't be Horrid, Henry! (Early Reader)
Author(s): Francesca Simon; Tony Ross
It's a dreadful shock for Horrid Henry when Perfect Peter is born, and despite his best - or worst - efforts, he can't manage to get rid of him. As Peter gets bigger, Henry gets crosser. But the day comes when Henry inadvertently finds himself saving Peter from a fierce dog and discovers that it's rather nice to be a hero. Setting the scene for the Horrid Henry storybooks, this is a very simple and funny story with a universally recognizable theme. The artwork is bright and colourful in the spirit of the original HH books.
