A great horrid herry - By: R. Harrison, 12 Dec 2007 
Horrid henry books always make me chuckle & this is no exeption they are funny for adults & children alike & they use a wide range of topics. The one slight critisisum i have of it is that i find that some of the stories can be a tad repetative at times. Overall a great fun book sutable for all ages & it is garretied to make you laugh!
Ten favourite stories and more ! Yes this is a great compilation of old Horrid Henry stories - By: Keith Joseph, 24 Apr 2007 I had deduced that this collection of ten Horrid Henry stories were reprints of previously published ones, hence the 'favourite stories' & 'collection' tags. This purple "Horrid Henry's evil enemies" book compliments & matches the previous two 'ten story' compilations: "Horrid Henry's wicked ways" (Henry's home life - Red) & "Horrid Henry's big bad book" (Henry's school nightmares - Yellow). The storiesin this book are: Horrid Henry & moody Margaret, Horrid Henry & the secret club, Horrid Henry's Christmas, Horrid Henry's Haunted house, Horrid Henry's raid, Horrid Henry goes to work, Horrid Henry's stink-bomb, Horrid Henry & the bogey babysitter, Moody Margaret moves in, Moody Margaret casts a spell, & an Evil Enemies fact file (the new 'bonus' bit).
The hardcover book is attractively presented with all the original colourful illustrations. It is well bound with quality paper, has a dustcover, & totals 190 pages. The hardboard cover colour even matches the dustcover, although this volume has a shiny light blue plastic finnish rather than the red/yellow contrasting 'cloth' of the previous two otherwise identically presented compilations (the loose dustcovers match perfectly though giving them the look of a quality set). All three volumes look very nice together & aren't so heavy or large that they become difficult to read at bedtime, they can just be supported by one hand - each book is 9 x 6.5 x 0.75 inches & weighs about 675g. My son (a poor reader, now just 11) has always enjoyed Horrid Henry, & now he is pleased that he can read these easy stories for himself. They are ideal for boys around 7+. So a highly recommended compilation of [Don't be] Horrid Henry's stories, going for a knock down price.
Rip off - By: Listener, 07 Nov 2006 
My kids love Horrid Henry stories, & I love reading them to them, but we are all getting completely fed up with the amount of material that Francesca Simon & her publishers recycle. In book after book you find stories that have been published elsewhere - sometimes completely altered. It is the samein this collection. Chances are that if you are a Horrid Henry fan & you buy this you will be shelling out for material you already own. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE Francesca Simon stop this practice (or at the very least make it crystal clearin publicity if there is any reprinted workin 'new' books)
a disappointment - By: S. Daniels, 06 Nov 2006 
My children adore Horrid Henry, so when I saw this title, I ordered it for my daughter's birtday. Other HH lovers beware! This isn't a new book. It is largely a compilation of stories previously published. There is some new stuff, but if you order this thinking you are getting a new book of Henry's adventures, you will be disappointed. The way it was described made me think it was new stories, but there is little new stuff here. Great stories, as ever, but if you are an HH fan, you will have the majority of these on your bookshelf already. However, if you are a Horrid Henry beginner, then this would be a good way to introduce him to your young readers, as these are good stories.
