His other friends include Aerobic Al, Beefy Bert, Brainy Brian, Anxious Andrew, Weepy William and Greedy Graham. There seems to be a popular fan theory that Henry has ADHD, dyslexia or is on the autism spectrum, although this is completely unconfirmed. 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.Henry and Peter have to go to the school's dance class taught by Miss Impatience Tutu, a very impatient woman who claims she is patient that Henry hates. The class has to play a concert and everyone is practicing for it. Impatience Tutu makes Henry sit behind a false bush for being horrid at her class so he won't embarrass everyone at the concert. When its time for the concert, Henry decides to make his part bigger and by doing so, makes Impatience Tutu stop the concert this story then ends with Henry being happy to finally go for karate.

She constantly gives Henry detentions for never doing his homework and when he disrespects her lessons and they both have a strong hate on each other. However Miss Battle-Axe does appear to be proud if Henry on very rare occasions such as when he saved his younger brother (Perfect Peter) or when he delivers messages to the teachers for them after being asked too.

The first in the hugely popular Horrid Henry series introduces us to Henry and his brother, Perfect Peter. The four stories it comprises are long enough to satisfy early readers, yet are short enough to be manageable, with plenty of laughs along the way.

This is an outrageously funny series featuring the most quirky, eccentric characters that are bound to delight children who love gloriously silly details and horrible baddies,' she said. 'Hilariously illustrated, they really are marvellous, madcap adventures.' Your suggestions 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.

On the other hand, Dad treats Henry really well in the later series and they start to have a bond which makes their relationships closer. Whereas Mum would tell Henry not to be horrid just for joking or being sarcastic which is why Henry does not get along with her, however she truly does care about her son and love him deep down.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? 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. Flat Stanley, by Jeff Brown (about a boy who gets flattened and the adventures he has because of it) my 5 year old loves them, she's a pretty confident reader and can manage them by herself (which is fortunate since i can't abide them). can also get them with cds which is great for the inbetweeny reading stage. 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.
