Synopsis

Early Readers are stepping stones from picture books to reading books. A blue Early Reader is perfect for sharing and reading together. A red Early Reader is the next step on your reading journey.

It's a dreadful shock for Horrid Henry when Perfect Peter is born, and despite his best - or worst - efforts, he can't manage to get rid of him. As Peter gets bigger, Henry gets crosser adn crosser, but the day comes when Henry inadvertently finds himself saving Peter and discovers that its rather nice to be a hero.

So my aunt asked me to give her three books in this series that I own so she can pass them on to a younger relative. I decided to reread them before giving them up. This is the first one, and it's as good as I remember. I haven read these in 10+ years I think? Anyway, I'm reading the translated vers......more
