Horrid Henry Early Reader: Horrid Henry's Underpants Award-winning team by Francesca Simon (author) and Tony Ross (illustrator)

Author/Illustrator

Francesca Simon

Francesca Simon is the author of the hugely successful Horrid Henry series, which has sold over 15 million copies. Henry is a terrible (but loveable) tearaway who leaves grown-ups in tears, and playmates cowering! Short chapters and line drawings from Tony Ross make these great choices for newly confident readers.

More about Francesca: “I was born in St Louis, Missouri, grew up in Los Angeles and attended both Yale and Oxford Universities, where I specialised in Medieval Studies. I then threw away a lucrative career as a medievalist and worked as a freelance journalist, writing for the Sunday Times, Guardian, Mail on Sunday, Telegraph, and Vogue.

After my son Joshua was born in 1989, I started writing children’s books full time.

I have published over 50 books, including the immensely popular Horrid Henry series, published in 17 countries and now a successful CITV animation series.

I live in London with my husband, son, and Tibetan Spaniel called Shanti.”

   This is an awesome book where you can have loads of fun with Henry. This book is very easy to read so I would recommend it to 6-8 year olds probably.

   Regret reading it, doesn’t have much words and mainly pictures, guess I should have got that from it being an ‘early reader’

   This is such a funny book. Horrid Henry and Perfect Peter are such opposites and Henry makes mistakes all the time and everyone thinks badly of him, but Peter is a bit annoyingly good!

    I have read this book, the best part in the story is when Henry is at school and he has to get changed for PE but he is wearing the ( Pink & Girly ) underpants !! It is a great book so if you have not already read you better get the book and do so and READ IT !!! :-)
