Great read aloud

I have read four of the Horrid Henry stories to my students aged 6-11 and they loved them! Frankly, I was surprised because I thought the older kids would find them too simple for their tastes. Everyone groans in disappointment when we have to stop reading. The youngest do not get some of the more subtle jokes, but they love the stories anyway. With British words such as chips, biscuits, Mum, jumpers and pounds, it has be a linqustic exploration as well. If you have any dramatic flare when you read to kids, you will love this. Not for the anal retentive or faint of heart, only fun lovers. I think we have recognized some our own behaviors in the characters we have met. I found them in England and am glad we can get more titles here.
