My two boys love this book and I have actually had tears running down my face and had to stop reading because of laughing so hard. My oldest son is rereading all the books in this series on his own now and he still loves them. Happy reading!" Horrid Henry: [to the audience] Oh no, I'm wearing Great Aunt Greta's underpants! What am I going to do? [remembers Ralph, Al and Bert's threats] Uh-oh, if they catch me, I'm toast! This can't be happening! I need pants, where can I get some pants? EUREKA! THAT'S IT! The lost property cupboard! Please Miss, I need the toilet. The Virtuous Veggie,” read the sign. “The all new vegetable restaurant!” Horrid Henry gazed in horror at the menu posted outside. “Yummy!” said Perfect Peter. “Look, Henry,” said Mom. “It’s serving all your new favorite vegetables.” Horrid Henry opened his mouth to protest. Then he closed it. He knew when he was beaten. Henry's genius homework excuses go too far when his class has to write the hardest essay they've ever been set. Each book has four stories all featuring Henry living down to expectations in some way. Many times his plotting is found out and foiled by parents and teachers, but sometimes his elaborate plans to get his way at the expense of others actually succeed. Kids will love to see how he gets in and out of his scrapes with authority.

Henry wants to ask the Queen his lifetime question, but Peter is personally chosen to meet her. Much hilarity ensues with only a slight hint of anti-royalism. Henry is after some money, so he aims to make some accidents on his family, but Moody Margaret gets the better of him. I have tried out the Horrid Henry books with groups of children as a parent, as a babysitter, and as a teacher. Children love to either hear them read aloud or to read them themselves. The books are spot on for the 5-8 age range and are fun for the adults who share them too." An absolutely fantastic series and surely a winner with all children. My son took this book as his favourite during book week at his school and converted a few children to the cause. Long live Francesca Simon and her brilliant books! More, more please!"Henry thinks that he is going on holiday to somewhere exciting and realistic but ends up somewhere very boring.

Later that afternoon, it's time for games much to Henry’s horror and William says it’s always on Tuesday. Miss Battle-Axe told Henry that she doesn’t care if aliens ate his P.E. Kit and won’t accept any excuses. Ralph also tells Henry the same line but he claims he’s got the perfect excuse and whispers to Miss Battle-Axe who says Henry forgotten his underpants making the class laugh much to his embarrassment and she shouts ‘Quiet!’. Henry becomes a member of the Best Boys Club just to go to Goody-Goody Gordon's birthday party. But things go wrong when he does NOT get his star. Reason for Reading: Our son has reading difficulties and after much debate the family bought an ereader. Ds read this book aloud as his reader and as his very first ebook. Horrid Henry is a favourite of his.

The pants are a bit different in the episode. In the book, they are described as being frilly, lacy, and decorated with glittery hearts and bows. In the episode, they are simply light pink and frilly. They fight, then Henry sends Margaret down the stairs on a skateboard. While she's gone, Henry hides the pink pants under his pillow] A definite must for every teacher - reading about Henry makes your naughtiest child seem like a saint!"
