Product description

Did you know that if your intestines were removed they would stretch round a tennis court several times over? Or that humans are as hairy as gorillas?

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.”

    Weird and wonderful facts

    One not just for lovers of Horrid Henry's exploits.This is the first of a new series of non-fiction books which is both funny and factually correct.Great for children who don't particularly enjoy fiction but who seize upon weird and wonderful facts. There are Horrid Henry references throughout and the illustrations are particularly apt.
    I certainly didn't know that cows can only dream lying down...!
