Reader reviewed by Rita Lorraine Hubbard, The Original H.I.R. (Historical Investigative Reporter)

In Horrid Henrys StinkBomb, by Francesca Simon, Horrid Henry dishes up enough trouble to keep readers laughing for days.



            First, Henry tries to win a school book-reading contest without actually reading any books.   He concocts a fake list of books and tries to convince his teacher that he has been reading up a storm.  His list includes ridiculous titles like, A Boy and His Pig; A Pig and His Boy; A Boyish Pig, and A Piggish Boy.



            Next, Henry uses some stinky concoctions from his Stinky StinkBomb Kit to bomb Moody Margarets secret club house.  In no time, Henry has her club house smelling like dog poo, rotten eggs, dead fish and sewer stench.  YUCK!



            At school, Henry borrows some supplies from the other students finished art projects while they are out playing.  When they return, Henry tries to look innocent, even though their projects have collapsed all over the place.



            Later, Henry goes to a sleepover at a new boys house.  Of course, only a new boy would invite Henry to his house; the other children know him too well to let him come to their houses.  But Henry doesnt care; he plans to make noises, raid the refrigerator, jump on the beds and cause all sorts of trouble at the new boys house.  The problem is, his hosts are even rowdier than Henry is, so Henry ends up pleading with his parents to take him home so he can get a good nights sleep.



            Horrid Henry books are always full of fun, and this one is no exception.  From Henrys funny antics to artist Tony Ross hilarious drawings, this book will have you laughing out loud and wanting to read more.
