Horrid Henry' is an unusual fictional character of children readings. He is not a role model for kids, he is naughty, ill-mannered, even a bit anti-social. He is an absolute contradiction of his decent, well behaved younger brother, Perfect Peter.
Horrid Henry series was created since 1994, which was very popular worldwide and had been translated into different languages. However, Henry is controversial because some schools/ parents are concerned that his mischievous behaviors will lead to bad impact to students.
It seems not the case to my children, they were engaged since the first page of the book, they laughed out loud when Henry whined or played tricks, but they could judge who was right or wrong in the story. Frankly, every child wants to be rebellious sometimes, I believe that such a misbehaved character may help them fulfill such 'wish' and 'fantasy'.
On top of these, the stories are well written, the English is simple and amusing, it is a perfect material of English learning for young readers.
