Why listen to Horrid Henry?

Children’s audio has one narrator question that matters above all: can they hold a fidgety audience? Miranda Richardson can. Her reading gives Henry’s mischief a gleeful, anarchic energy that children respond to instantly, and there is plenty in her delivery for the grown-up in the front seat too.At barely more than an hour, this is the perfect car-journey length, short enough for a single motorway stretch and easy to restart from the top when small listeners demand a repeat, which they will. Nothing about this volume requires prior knowledge, so starting here poses no problem at all. It is ideal for ages where chapter books are still a stretch, and for parents who would rather laugh along than referee.

Clara’s verdict

Clara Whitmore

4.0/5

With 573 ratings behind it, I can be unusually definite: a 4.3 average for a children’s title with this much traffic means it does its job, reliably and repeatedly. Miranda Richardson’s performance is the making of it, and the short runtime is a feature rather than a flaw for the target audience. It will not convert households that find Henry too horrid on principle, but for everyone else this is an easy, proven pick.
