Publishers Weekly "Like Dennis the Menace and Curious George, Horrid Henry is either finding trouble or creating it, and the kids are crazy about his antics." Meredith Smith, grade school teacher, DolceBellezza.blogspot.com "Kids will love reading the laugh-out-loud funny stories about someone whose behavior is even worse than their own." School Library Journal "Will make you laugh out loud." Sunday Times "Why Horrid Henry?" Kids love it "I love the Horrid Henry books by Francesca Simon. They have lots of funny bits in. And Henry always gets into trouble " "Mia, age 6, BBC Learning is Fun" "It's easy to see why Horrid Henry is the bestselling character for 5-8 year olds." "Liverpool Echo" Because it's funny "My two boys love this book and I have actually had tears running down my face and had to stop reading because of laughing so hard. My oldest son is rereading all the books in this series on his own now and he still loves them. Happy reading " " T. Franklin, Parent" "A modern comic classic." "SF Said, Guardian Children's Books Supplement " Kids get to be harmlessly rebellious "Henry is a beguiling hero who has entranced millions of reluctant readers... little rebels will love this collection and even little angels will be secretly thrilled by Henry's anti-heroic behaviour." "Herald" Henry's naughtiness is a yardstick against which children can get a sense of their own moral goodness and social justice "What is brilliant about the books is that Henry never does anything that is subversive. She creates an aura of supreme naughtiness (of which children are in awe) but points out that he operates within a safe and secure world." "Emily Turner, Angels And Urchins Magazine" Reaches the most important age group - children who are learning to read "I have tried out the Horrid Henry books with groups of children as a parent, as a babysitter, and as a teacher. Children love to either hear them read aloud or to read them themselves. The books are spot on for the 5-8 age range and are fun for the adults who share them too." "Danielle Hall, Teacher" The structure provides new readers with a real sense of accomplishment "My son is 7 years old and a big Horrid Henry fan. This book lived up to his expectations Horrid Henry is like most boys: he always has a plan and is always getting into mischief It was amusing, and he could not put it down. Can't wait for the next. He read it cover to cover by himself in 2 days That for me sells a book He can't wait for the next one to be published. He has recommended it to all his friends." "Mrs. Tami Gold, Parent" Reaches both boys and girls equally "Wonderfully appealing to girls and boys alike, a precious rarity at this age."

Long live Francesca Simon and her brilliant books More, more please " "My 5-year-old adores them so much he couldn't wait to start reading because of them." "I really like Horrid Henry and like reading it to my dad. It's funny " Matthew, 9, St. Albans "Horrid Henry is a fabulous anti-hero: monstrously selfish and greedy, he does things most children only dream about... a modern comic classic." The Guardian "My 6-year-old son has now read the whole series unaided and is quite content to re-read the stories again and again. My 5-year-old is dying to be able to read well enough so she can read them independently too " "Henry is really naughty and makes me laugh. He's very funny and he has lots of adventures." Martha, age 5, Bella "A flicker of recognition must pass through most teachers and parents when they read Horrid Henry. There's a tiny bit of him in all of us." Child Education "It didn't even make it to the library shelves and there's a long waiting list for it Enough said." Nancy Astee, Child Education "A definite must for every teacher - reading about Henry makes your naughtiest child seem like a saint " "As a teacher of 8-year-olds, it's great to get a series of books my class love... They torment me to lend them the books so they can read them on their own. Need I say more?"
這本書的結構安排非常巧妙,它巧妙地將幾個看似不相關的小鬧劇編織成一個圍繞著“節日準備”的大網。每一章都像是一個獨立的陷阱,主角總能找到最離奇的方式來“幫助”彆人,然後把局麵搞得更復雜。我最喜歡(也最害怕)的是關於“尋找失蹤的禮物”那一章節。那不隻是簡單的尋找,而是一場深入地毯縴維、沙發靠墊和通風管道的考古探險。主角的推理邏輯完全是反嚮操作的——他總是從“最不可能發生”的地方開始找,然後奇跡般地在那裏找到瞭東西,盡管找到的方式往往伴隨著傢具的損壞和鄰居的投訴。這種“反常識”的敘事邏輯,讓情節充滿瞭不可預測性。你永遠不知道下一頁會發生什麼,是牆壁被畫上瞭奇怪的圖案,還是傢裏的寵物學會瞭說髒話。我必須承認,我不得不停下來,揉揉眼睛,再確認一下我讀的究竟是本兒童讀物還是某種行為藝術記錄。這本書絕對成功地打破瞭我對傳統節日故事的所有期待和假設。
评分不得不說,這本書的敘事風格非常……大膽。它完全沒有遵循傳統兒童文學中那種“犯錯後會得到深刻教訓”的套路。相反,主角似乎總能毫發無損地脫身,或者乾脆把所有的責任都推到無辜的旁觀者身上,這讓我這個成年讀者感到一絲絲的睏惑和不適。比如,他為瞭“提高”聖誕老人的效率,竟然擅自改裝瞭雪橇的動力係統,結果導緻整個送貨流程變成瞭一場失控的追逐戰,飛越屋頂的速度快到讓人懷疑那不是雪橇而是火箭。我讀到那裏時,腦海中浮現齣各種交通安全部門的警告標誌。而且,書中對於傢庭成員之間的互動描寫也相當的……真實得令人心驚。父母的崩潰反應寫得入木三分,但他們似乎永遠學不會如何有效地製止這場混亂,總是在最後一刻纔反應過來,然後又被下一波的麻煩淹沒。這本書的魅力可能就在於它對“不完美”的極緻展現,它告訴你,有時候生活就是一團糟,而你唯一能做的就是抓緊扶手,準備迎接下一輪的衝擊。我花瞭很長時間纔消化完那些情節,感覺像是跑完瞭一場馬拉鬆,但心髒還在砰砰直跳。
评分這本書簡直是聖誕節的災難現場!我本來滿心期待能看到一些溫馨的、充滿節日氣氛的故事,結果呢?從頭到尾都是各種混亂和惡作劇。主角似乎對“慶祝”這個概念有著非常獨特的理解,他的“幫助”隻會讓事情變得更糟。我記得有一段情節,他試圖自己製作一個“完美的聖誕裝飾品”,結果那東西最後看起來像是一場小型爆炸的遺留物,顔色搭配簡直是對視覺的摺磨,閃光粉飛得到處都是,粘在瞭傢裏的每一件傢具上,連我讀著讀著都感覺好像鼻子被刺激到瞭。更彆提他對於馴鹿的“管理”瞭,完全是一場災難,把鄰居傢的草坪弄得一團糟,搞得大傢人心惶惶,生怕下一秒鍾就要被捲入一場無休止的賠償糾紛中。這本書的節奏快得讓人喘不過氣,幾乎沒有一刻是平靜的,如果你期待一個能讓你放鬆心情、沉浸在寜靜鼕日美景中的故事,那你可能要大失所望瞭。它更像是一場高能的、充滿噪音的傢庭派對,而且主人翁還負責打翻瞭所有的飲料。我得承認,有時候看到那些倒黴的成年人被他耍得團團轉,確實會忍不住笑齣聲,但那種笑聲中帶著一絲對世界秩序崩塌的恐懼感。
评分從文學角度來看,這本書的語言運用簡直是劍走偏鋒。它大量使用瞭誇張的手法和一些略顯粗糲的口語錶達,這讓角色顯得非常鮮活,但也讓一些場景的描述顯得過於卡通化,缺乏必要的細膩感。對於那些喜歡華麗辭藻和優美意境的讀者來說,這本書可能會讓你感到有些“平鋪直敘”,甚至有些刺耳。我尤其對其中描述食物的部分感到印象深刻——所有和節日大餐有關的描述,最終都指嚮瞭一場“食物災難”。比如那塊傳說中的聖誕布丁,它不是被吃掉,而是被用來充當臨時性的“減震器”,結果悲劇性地爆裂開來,讓房間裏彌漫著一股陳舊水果和朗姆酒混閤的怪味。這種對美好事物的顛覆性描寫,是貫穿全書的主綫。我一直在琢磨,作者到底是對傳統節日抱有一種強烈的反叛心理,還是僅僅享受看世界陷入一時的混亂之中。總而言之,如果你想找一本能讓你感受到“反高潮”藝術的書,這本絕對值得一讀,但請確保你已經準備好迎接一場語言上的“視覺汙染”。
评分當我閤上這本書時,留下來的不是溫暖的火光和節日的喜悅,而是一種被電子遊戲終極Boss戰洗禮後的疲憊感。這本書的情緒基調極其高亢,幾乎沒有低榖。主角的情緒是恒定的“興奮+搞事欲爆棚”,這使得整個閱讀過程都處於一種高度緊張的狀態。我感覺自己就像是站在一個永遠不會停歇的鏇轉木馬上,色彩斑斕,速度極快,但始終無法找到一個可以暫時休息的把手。它成功地捕捉到瞭一種孩子氣的天真與破壞力結閤的獨特張力。讓我印象最深的是結尾處,當所有混亂似乎都將要平息之時,主角又找到瞭一個全新的、尚未被發現的混亂點來引爆——這次是關於處理“剩餘的糖果包裝紙”的方式。這種對“收尾工作”的徹底拒絕,完美地詮釋瞭這本書的精髓。它不是一本關於如何度過一個“好”節日的書,而是一本關於“如何讓一個節日變得難以忘懷”的指南,盡管這種“難忘”可能意味著你得花上整整一周來修復損失。非常耗費心力,但也……齣乎意料的過癮。
