Horrid Henry's Joke Book Award-winning author by Francesca Simon (author) (UK edition)

Horrid Henry has collected all of his favourite jokes and is itching to share them. He’s divided them into sections, each one covering a subject he finds fascinating: Dizzy Dave’s Dinosaur jokes, Anti-Aunt jokes, scary screamers and jokes not suitable for mums. And Henry’s written his own, special introduction to each section.
A side-splittingly funny book bursting with jokes collected from primary schools throughout Britain – so they’re perfect for their audience.

Francesca Simon

Francesca Simon is the author of the hugely successful Horrid Henry series, which has sold over 15 million copies. Henry is a terrible (but loveable) tearaway who leaves grown-ups in tears, and playmates cowering! Short chapters and line drawings from Tony Ross make these great choices for newly confident readers.

More about Francesca: "I was born in St Louis, Missouri, grew up in Los Angeles and attended both Yale and Oxford Universities, where I specialised in Medieval Studies. I then threw away a lucrative career as a medievalist and worked as a freelance journalist, writing for the Sunday Times, Guardian, Mail on Sunday, Telegraph, and Vogue.

After my son Joshua was born in 1989, I started writing children’s books full time.

I have published over 50 books, including the immensely popular Horrid Henry series, published in 17 countries and now a successful CITV animation series.

I live in London with my husband, son, and Tibetan Spaniel called Shanti."
