About This Book
Reach for this book when your child is feeling the weight of the good child versus bad child dynamic at home or school. It is an ideal choice for the child who expresses frustration through mischief or feels constantly overshadowed by a sibling who seems perfect. This collection of stories follows the unapologetically naughty Henry as he navigates a weekend at his cousin's house, a school project, and a rainy day, often clashing with his brother, Perfect Peter. While Henry's behavior is often outrageous, the book serves as a safe, humorous outlet for children to explore their own darker impulses without real-world consequences. The emotional core centers on sibling rivalry and the desire for autonomy in a world of strict rules. It is perfectly suited for children ages 5 to 9 who appreciate slapstick humor and need to see their own big feelings of jealousy and anger mirrored in a funny, non-judgmental way.
