Horrid Henry's Joke Book

Is it horrid? Absolutely. But it's my middle schooler who is reading it and it's right in line with the kind of humor he enjoys at this age. We have had so much fun reading the jokes to each other and the neighbors all want to read this book so it gets five stars.

My grandson really likes the books that we have read so far. He is in kindergarten, but is able to enjoy the stories because he reads a bit ahead of his age group. The books are probably readable for most second graders, but younger children can definitely enjoy them!

Horrid Henry is at it again, although this time he's really trying to make us laugh. Horrid Henry's Joke Book, which is written by Francesca Simon and illustrated by Tony Ross is the latest in the series of stories about this rascally little boy who's always trying to get away with something.These jokes are exactly the kind that my daughter would have appreciated when she was seven to 10 years old. I know she would have told this knock-knock joke over and over again and expected her dad and I to laugh each time:"Knock. Knock.Who's there?Cows go.Cows go who?No they don't, they go moo."The jokes are silly and often play on words, which is what many young readers adore as they are just learning the ins and outs of language. And because it is a Horrid Henry book, the jokes are grouped into categories that match Henry's style. For instance, you'll find Mummy's Curse Jokes, Gross-Out Jokes, Scary Sitter Jokes, Underpants Jokes, and more. And of course, there's a section for Perfect Peter's Favorite Jokes, which Henry begs everyone not to read. Despite the banner that says, "Warning: Too rude for parents!" on the front cover, moms and dads should have fun reading these with their early readers.

I have two sons ages 7 & 8 1/2-both boys enjoyed the jokes in the book. Provided hours of giggles for them.

I brought this for my 9 year old child she really enjoyed it some parts were a bit challenging for her but at the end it was fine.

Unfortunately, I bought each book for my seven year old son. Even he could not believe how "horrible" Henry behaved with absolutely NO consequences. One book has Henry singing about hitting an old person on the head with a cane. I am "horrified" that these books are published and further shocked they have been endorsed by parents. These books are so deplorable I will not pass along to friends or donate. They will end up in the garbage where they belong. Reckless content pretty much sums it up. Oh, I looked at the author's photo and let's just say I wasn't surprised.

Daughter loved these had to get them all

Good

This is a great book.

My six year old son loved it. Some of the jokes are very good :)
