Horrid Henry and the Mummy's Curse by Francesca Simon

aelynreads's review against another edition

This book contains 4 short stories, where Henry is trying to collect a set of toys, must do his homework, tries to escape a swimming lesson and must protect Peter from the mummy's curse!

Each story is funny and engaging, featuring the cast of Horrid Henry characters that children love. The stories focus on real-life issues that young readers will relate to, with just enough Horrid Henry mischief to amuse even the most reluctant of readers.

Ideal for: children aged 5-7 years old, including boys or reluctant readers.

Final one of the three I own *sobs*.

It came back to me as I read it, especially the swimming one. I didn't remember the mummy one at all, in my mind it meshed with the Goosebumps book with a similar theme.

I think book one will always be the best, funniest and most original. The rest are okay, but not on that level.

Well, it's time to let go of them (for now). I hope my relative likes and appreciates them as much as I did when I was his age.
