Horrid Henry's Joke Book Award-winning author/illustrator

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 is easliy gotta be wanted to pick out if you need to be cheered up,in the funny mood or bored. Because there is no boredome with Henry whatsoever!He is the excitement monster!

   I think this book is really useful, especially if you need to tell someone a joke! All the jokes features on Henry’s stories and also more about his life.

   Here is a joke: [This joke is from “The Mummy’s Curse”]

   Why was the Egyptian boy upset? Because his daddy was a mummy.

   Hahahahaha, another one:

   During which age did mummies live in? The Band-age!

   Hahahahahaha! If you like Horrid Henry, you will love this!

   I rate it: 10/10

   The jokes in the book were really funny. They made me laugh and they were really and rude about miss battleaxe. She has a miss not a mrs no wonder she’s not married.
