Horrid Henry's Joke Book Award-winning author by Francesca Simon (author)

Horrid Henry has collected all of his favourite jokes and is itching to share them. He’s divided them into sections, each one covering a subject he finds fascinating: Dizzy Dave’s Dinosaur jokes, Anti-Aunt jokes, scary screamers and jokes not suitable for mums. And Henry’s written his own, special introduction to each section. A side-splittingly funny book bursting with jokes collected from primary schools throughout Britain – so they’re perfect for their audience.

Francesca Simon

Francesca Simon is the author of the hugely successful Horrid Henry series, which has sold over 15 million copies. Henry is a terrible (but loveable) tearaway who leaves grown-ups in tears, and playmates cowering! Short chapters and line drawings from Tony Ross make these great choices for newly confident readers.

More about Francesca: “I was born in St Louis, Missouri, grew up in Los Angeles and attended both Yale and Oxford Universities, where I specialised in Medieval Studies. I then threw away a lucrative career as a medievalist and worked as a freelance journalist, writing for the Sunday Times, Guardian, Mail on Sunday, Telegraph, and Vogue.

After my son Joshua was born in 1989, I started writing children’s books full time.

I have published over 50 books, including the immensely popular Horrid Henry series, published in 17 countries and now a successful CITV animation series.

I live in London with my husband, son, and Tibetan Spaniel called Shanti.”
