Reviews for Horrid Henry's Christmas
2 ratings1 review
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5The Horrid Henry books are British imports that are perfect fare for Captain Underpants fans looking for a new series. The humor is the same and the font size and liberal humorous black and white illustrations will keep Pilkey fans on the right track. Henry destroys the Christmas tree, causes havoc during the Nativity plays and almost spoils the holiday dinner, all the while appealing to the naughty imp hiding inside of young readers.
