Horrid Henry's Christmas Cracker

'Four interlinked stories lead up to the nightmare before and during Christmas as the awful child ruins his school Nativity play and enjoys the worst Christmas lunch ever. The scratchy, punky music will put your teeth on edge and Richardson's voice is like broken glass in treacle as she relishes the ghastly details about spiders in wreaths, frozen turkey and revolting relations. It will have you laughing helplessly all the way to Boxing Day and beyond.' -- Amanda Craig, THE INDEPENDENT

'Top 10 audiobook' -- THE OBSERVER

'excellent voices for each of the characters so each one is easily identifiable.... music and sound effects add to the enjoyment.... This audio version would be suitable for listening to as a class or could be used for group reading, whilst the children followed along with the book - that is, if you don't mind the uncontrollable laughter -- writeaway.org.uk
