Download the Horrid Henry Teacher's Guide HORRiD Teachers HENRY Guide A LETTER FROM THE AUTHOR Funny books about naughty children? Shouldn’t we be promoting obedience and politeness and goodness? I think all readers, whether adults or children, adore mischievous, rebellious characters. Mischievous characters say and do the unexpected and the forbidden. They’re the ones you secretly wished you dared to be. In real life if we pass a door marked “No Entry,” we don’t open it. But if we’re with someone like Horrid Henry, he wonders what’s behind the door and barges through it. And—what a thrill—we get to go through it with him. I often describe my Horrid Henry books as Westerns for kids. Henry is an outlaw, who behaves dreadfully, yet often triumphs. Just as adults like reading about people who go against convention, Photo: Francesco Guidicini so kids get a thrill from someone who always acts on impulse and never worries about the consequences. Children get the point that Henry’s extreme selfishness is funny, just as Perfect Peter is an exaggerated version of the impeccably behaved kid parents think they want. Put them together, and you get a pretty normal child. Mischievous characters like Horrid Henry celebrate imagination, creativity, and freedom. He’s naughty, not delinquent: the imp inside everyone. I truly hope that you will enjoy these adventures with Horrid Henry! Thank you for your support.

But there were no castles. There were only piles of stones and broken walls. “Never again,” said Henry. The next year he had to go to a lot of museums. “Never again, “said Mum and Dad.
