Horrid Henry

Advantages: Fun
Disadvantages: Annoying voices

...and getting caught. I guess Horrid Henry is in the same vain as Dennis the Menace was in my childhood and kids enjoy that kind of humour. The voices of some of the characters are annoying, like Henry's friends, Moody Margaret and this can get on your nerves a little but on the whole I really enjoy this programme and we tape it so my daughter can watch it over and over again. All the characters have a description before their names like Rude Ralph ...

I recommend it to the young viewers but no younger than 4 in my opinion as they need to learn to be good children before they can recognise the bad. ... Read review

...friendly, although some adult help is required. Next up is another double page spread of counting. This time the game features Spongebob Squarepants, the child has to get round a maze, strewn with food!!! The child has to count amounts of named things and then write the amounts in the appropriate boxes. The next double page spread features a picture story from "the Wiggles", the child can read the words and then guess what the pictures are to carry on the story. Horrid Henry is next, the child has to decipher a simple code , with the alphabet/ pictures code to spell out a secret prank, the answer can then be entered into a compition to win a Horrid Henry dvd. Next is a three page storyboard story of "Go Diego Go", (a spin off character from Dora the explorer). The next two pages are dedicated to the children who read the magazine... Read review
