Reach for this book when your child is feeling the weight of being the naughty one in the family or when sibling rivalry has reached a boiling point. Horrid Henry provides a safe, hilarious space for children to process feelings of unfairness and jealousy through the lens of a protagonist who actually acts on his impulses. While Henry's behavior is objectively terrible, his schemes to win board games and outsmart his perfect brother, Peter, offer a cathartic release for kids who struggle to meet adult expectations. It is an ideal bridge for reluctant readers aged 6 to 9 who need humor and high-energy antics to stay engaged. By reading about Henry's spectacular failures and occasional triumphs, children can explore complex family dynamics and the desire for autonomy in a world of rules.
