Horrid Henry Robs the Bank by Francesca Simon

Product Information

Remember, dressing up as pirates, singing pirate songs, talking about treasure, wakes up the pirate cannibal. I warned you about Blood Boil Bob, but you wouldn’t listen,” hissed Henry, “and now—” he drew his hand across his throat.

Francesca Simon grew up in California and attended both Yale and Oxford Universities, where she specialised in Medieval Studies. I loved this book because it was good when they were playing a board game and when Henry ran out of money he snook over to Margaret’s house because she had the same game and he took the money from that game and ended up winning!

He looked into the thrashing bushes and saw a skull and crossbones rising out of the hedge, the gleam of sunlight on a blood- red cutlass… “AAAAAAAHHHHHH! stycznia Wydawnictwo Znak Emotikon postanowiło wznowić serię i przypomnieć o największych koszmarkach rodzicielstwa i dzieciństwa. Książkę polecam starszym dzieciom powyżej dziesiątego roku życia, ale zdaje sobie też sprawę, że w dzisiejszych czasach gdzie od małego jest komputer, telefon i internet, to, że główny bohater nie ponosi odpowiedzialności za swoje wybryki to nic. This book has four stories in it, one where Henry creates his own version of a school newspaper, another about his brother stealing the theme he wanted for his birthday, one about Henry playing headmaster with his friends and Henry cheating at a board game. The themes in this particular book are particularly good as you could use Henry's example to encourage children to make their own newspapers, though emphasise how the gossip and made up stories in Henry's newspaper are perhaps not the practices to emulate!

Being in charge of all the game’s treasure was an excellent way of filling up your coffers when none of the other players was looking. Jak się można domyślić Karolek za wszelką cenę chce wygrać, jednak jak to zrobić skoro to nie on zarządza bankiem. Come on everyone, look for the clues hidden around the house to help you find the pirate treasure,” she said, handing Peter a scroll.

Muszę przyznać, że Koszmarny Karolek, to bardzo inteligentny młody chłopczyk, który ma masę pomysłów.In this book containing four stories, Horrid Henry helps himself to all the money he needs to win his favourite board game, comes up with another spectacular money-making scheme for launching a newspaper with all the school gossip, vows vengeance on Perfect Peter when Peter nicks his birthday party theme and has his own Pirate Party – and gets it by taking over as Head Teacher when Peter plays school with his goody-goody friends. Francesca has won the Children's Book of the Year Award and been a judge for the Guardian Children's Fiction Prize and the Roald Dahl Funny Prize.

The same ones, Henry noticed, that he’d been planning to send, with the peg-legged pirate swirling his cutlass and looking like he was about to leap out at you. Our Reading Den is a place for you and your child to discover and share books, find new authors and explore stories. My favourite character is Henry because he is kind of a daredevil which makes me interested in the book. Mom had important work to do, and needed total peace and quiet, so Henry and Peter had been dumped at Margaret’s.

Jednak rzuciło mi się w oczy to, że Koszmarny Karolek nie ponosi żadnych konsekwencji za swoje zachowanie. I will give it a 4 out of 5 stars and the main reason is because I did not find it as engaging and humorous as the other books in the horrid Henry collection. Imagine grading a stupid story about a tea towel higher than a fantastic tale about a wicked wizard.
