With so many brilliantly funny Horrid Henrystories out there, it's easy for children to get hooked. Now we have ideas about What to Read After Horrid Henry - and we want your thoughts too! The Horrid Henry stories are read on audiobook by the actress Miranda Richardson and published by Orion Audio. Emil and the Detectives by Erich Kastner is a total classic and thrilling read, or what about the irreverant Tapper Twins books by Geoff Rodkey. Gene Kemp's The Turbulent Term of Tyke Tileris also excellent (look out for the twist!)

Most importantly, though, the books are very funny - and rude, too. Kids just get it. So what to read after you've gone through the 24 books in the series? For young readers who whizzed through Horrid Henry and want more funny and rude stories According to Henry, they have told him millions of times that he can never have another birthday party, but then agree to give him one more chance each year.He is in Miss Battle-Axe's class in both the book and TV series, even though he is a few years younger in the books, being about 7-8 years of age.

Sour Susan is one of Henry's arch enemies alongside Margaret due to her being the best friend of Margaret and Henry finds Susan annoying. Despite sometimes working for Henry (for revenge on Margaret), Sour Susan is the seconder of the Secret Club. Henry was once said to love Susan in a fake love letter that Perfect Peter wrote. The making of "Glop" from "Horrid Henry and Moody Margaret" was used as a challenge between Henry and Margaret in the episode "Horrid Henry and the Secret Club" except that Margaret didn't eat the "Glop". [13] Readitdaddy had a great suggestion: Dork Diaries.'C would definitely recommend Dork Diaries for kids who do love a great series that evolves over time but can also be read completely out of sequence,' he said.The vast majority of the time, Mum and Dad believe Peter rather than Henry, being best known for disciplining Henry, particularly with the phrase: 'Don't be horrid, Henry!'. They often force Henry to locations such as his room if he is not well behaved, or they utterly say, 'GO TO YOUR ROOM NOW, HENRY!'. His parents often punish him for the slightest things. Henry appears to have messy reddish-brown hair, pale skin, and rosy cheeks. He is of average height for his age. He usually appears to be wearing a horizontally yellow striped light blue T-shirt, blue sewn jeans, and the usual green and white shell-toe trainers with yellow laces. His pyjamas are blue, with vertical white stripes. The slippers he wears in his pyjamas have inside looks like a crocodile's face and lime green colour. Flat Stanley, by Jeff Brown (about a boy who gets flattened and the adventures he has because of it) The first Horrid Henry book was published in 1994, and the series has been a dominating force in children's books ever since. Did you know that Horrid Henry books are the fifth most borrowed books in UK public libraries, adult titles included? His transformations are coincidentally similar to Katie Ka-Boom's transformations, since both of them are transformations of hideous monsters/animals that represent their anger.

Amelia Bedelia, by Peggy Parish (about a maid and the troubles she has because of her misunderstanding the people around her-rather along the lines of Horrid Henry in some ways), Ramona Quimby, by Beverly Cleary (about a girl who gets into troubles because of various reasons- also like Horrid Henry in many ways) Ramona is quite popular with girls in the States (where I'm from); she may be little advanced for the 5 year old, but they're used as early readers/sight readers for kids so they could be a good book to grow into. It's not a huge surprise - there's so much to make Horrid Henryappealing, and these are often the first books children actually enjoy reading to themselves. What makes them so great? Horrid Henry notably enjoys watching television, and his favourite shows include Mutant Max, Rapper Zapper and Terminator Gladiator. Henry and Peter often argue over who watches the television because Peter prefers to watch programs that Henry finds too babyish and boring.Henry is likely secretly very sensitive as his brother tends to get lots more affection than him, such as how Mum calls Peter honey bun, or bunny kins. This is probably what led Henry to dislike Peter so much, as he took all his parents attention from him. Horrid Henry is the first book of the Horrid Henry series. It was published in 1994 and written by Francesca Simon and illustrated by Tony Ross. The book is a collection of short stories about the same characters, along the lines of the Just William books.
