Horrid Henry: Horrid Henry and the Abominable Snowman Award-winning by Francesca Simon (author) (UK edition)

Author/Illustrator

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.”

   This book was really good. I like the part when Henry sneaks out of his house and makes his snowman better than Margaret’s.

   I have the cd for this so I don’t have to read the book. It’s good when Perfect Peter wins a years supply of ice creams direct from the frosty freeze ice cream factory. Horrid Henry shouts “NOOOOOOOOOO!”
