Product Information

Soggy Sid finds himself in the middle of a crime at the bank, and finds what seems to be a piece of Henry's shirt, so he suspects that Henry is behind it. Henry cheats his way through a book-reading contest to win a prize, but it isn't what he hoped for. While waiting for ballet class to start, Henry catches Miss Battle-Axe and Soggy Sid at a really embarrassing sight - Ballroom Dancing. Horrid Henry has been around for over 20 years, with over 20 million books sold. I’m surprised I’ve not read him properly before, because he’s a cool little dude. This story was previously published in an anthology, but this new stand-alone version is great because it’s perfectly designed for smaller hands getting to grips, literally and figuratively, with reading alone for the first time. Henry is desperate to get a pound coin from the tooth fairy. Everyone else has a loose tooth except Henry.

Peter has had enough of Henry, so he plots his revenge on him by sending Moody Margaret a love letter.In the evening, Henry tells Aunt Ruby that he does not want any pudding and that he wants to go to bed. But he sneaks into Steve's room instead and lies waiting for him under the bed. When Steve arrives and gets into bed, he starts humming before turning the light out. Henry then starts to hum and growl, and Steve becomes scared. Then Henry gives the mattress a great big poke, and Steve races out of the room screaming. Great-Aunt Greta babysits Peter and Henry while their parents are out for the weekend. However, Henry is up to something great and horrible. Henry thinks that he is going on holiday to somewhere exciting and realistic but ends up somewhere very boring.

This episode seemingly implies Henry's jumper was originally Steve's as said in his quote, 'That's a very nice second-hand jumper you're wearing.' In the book, Aunt Ruby suggests Henry and Steve play in his bedroom until dinner's ready, and Steve says he'll show Henry where he's sleeping. In the episode, Aunt Ruby tells Steve to show Henry to his room. Henry completes a challenge and a part of it includes being horrid. This may not sound anything like breakfasts, but it will become clear when it comes to the show! Henry begs Dad for a new mobile phone, while Peter's DJ gift from Great-Aunt Greta has gone too far.When Prissy Polly and Vomiting Vera come to visit, Henry ends up in a situation in having to change Vera's stinky nappy. In the book, the audio tape is called Dr Jekyll's Spooky Sounds. In the episode, it appears to be a recording of Steve making ghost noises. Henry can't decide what to call a kitten as they try and make situations to prove that it should be the name they wanted it to be. NOTE: This episode takes place during the events of Horrid Henry and the Terrific Teenager, Horrid Henry and the Measly Mascot and Horrid Henry: The Great Escape, except focusing on Henry.
