title: Horrid Henry's Joke Book
author:  Francesca Simon 
description: "Dig through all the grisly groaners in Horrid Henry's Joke Book. You might even enjoy Perfect Peter's favorites too - even with Henry's disdainful running commentary." - <strong><em> BookLoons.com</em></strong><br /><br />"My oldest loved reading them with me and trying to figure them out (he does have a difficult time with jokes). In fact, he loved them so much that I sent the book into his classroom teacher. She loved it too and she shared it with the entire class." - <strong><em> Gadabout Media</em></strong><br /><br />"A laugh out loud for all ages!" - <strong><em> Spot To Read</em></strong><br /><br />"Filled with groan-worthy puns and gross-out humor, Horrid Henry's Joke Book is chock full of the sort of simplistic humor that kids love." - <strong><em> PortlandExaminer.com</em></strong><br /><br />"All in all it was a good laugh." - <strong><em> Cindy's Love of Books</em></strong><br /><br />"Get this into the hands of any jokesters in your life. Then run for cover." - <strong><em> Not Just For Kids</em></strong><br /><br />"We all need a good laugh and Horrid Henry delivers in the <i>Horrid Henry's Joke Book</i>." - <strong><em> Lori Calabrese</em></strong><br /><br />"All in all, a silly and fun collection of humor, Horrid-Henry style. Sure to be thoroughly enjoyed by any boy between the ages of 7 and 12. :)" - <strong><em> Everead</em></strong><br /><br />"Children will get a kick out of reading the jokes and then retelling them to friends and family - what better way to get hesitant young readers to pick up a book? While the book is intended for middle-grade readers, creative teachers and/or parents could easily use this with children much younger who understand the concept of jokes." - <strong><em> Katie's Literature Lounge</em></strong><br /><br />"Even though they are simple jokes, they are really quite funny. Even as an adult I was laughing out loud to a lot of them. Recommended for kids everywhere!" - <strong><em> SMS Book Reviews</em></strong>
