Horrid Henry invents a time machine and promises to send his brother, Perfect Peter, to the future (as soon as Peter puts on one of Mom's dresses).

Will make you laugh out loud.
— Sunday Times
Parents reading them aloud may be consoled to discover that Henry can always be relied upon to behave worse than any of their own offspring.
