Warning!
Do not read this joke book if:

• Your name is Prissy Polly
• You're a goody-goody, ugly toad, tattle-tale
• You watch Nellie's Nursery on TV

These jokes are horrid. These jokes are guaranteed to make horrible little brothers feel sick and parents run screaming from the room. These jokes are so rude and so gross that-
"Hey! Peter! Stop reading right now. I said, put down my book-or else. These gross-out jokes are not for little toads!"
"Mooom! Henry's being mean to me!"
"Don't be horrid, Henry. Let Peter read your jokes."
"NO!"

Why didn't the skeleton and the monster fight?
The skeleton didn't have the guts.

Why was the Egyptian boy upset?
His daddy was a mummy.

Editorial Reviews

"We all need a good laugh and Horrid Henry delivers in the Horrid Henry’s Joke Book." — Lori Calabrese

"All in all, a silly and fun collection of humor, Horrid-Henry style. Sure to be thoroughly enjoyed by any boy between the ages of 7 and 12. :)" — Everead

"Dig through all the grisly groaners in Horrid Henry's Joke Book. You might even enjoy Perfect Peter's favorites too - even with Henry's disdainful running commentary." — BookLoons.com

"Children will get a kick out of reading the jokes and then retelling them to friends and family - what better way to get hesitant young readers to pick up a book? While the book is intended for middle-grade readers, creative teachers and/or parents could easily use this with children much younger who understand the concept of jokes." — Katie’s Literature Lounge

"My oldest loved reading them with me and trying to figure them out (he does have a difficult time with jokes). In fact, he loved them so much that I sent the book into his classroom teacher. She loved it too and she shared it with the entire class." — Gadabout Media
