Four uproarious new stories, enhanced by Miranda Richardson's manic reading and really horrid music and effects, in which the Queen visits Horrid Henry's school and watches the children make wattle and daub; and Horrid Henry tries to hypnotise Moody Margaret, tricks Perfect Peter into doing his household chores, and gets his own way at bathtime.

Listen as Horrid Henry makes his own scary movie; persuades Peter to hand over his stash of Grump Cards (as a brilliant scheme to get him out of the punishments his parents give him); and spends a weekend at Aunt Ruby's where he has to share a bedroom with his two arch-enemies, Stuck-Up Steve and Bossy Bill. Follow along as Henry's school decides to have a mini-Olympics and Harry sets up his own Holympics, with medals for crisp-eating, TV watching, and Burping to the Beat.

Four fabulous new stories: Horrid Henry builds himself a time machine and tricks Perfect Peter, Perfect Peter strikes back, Henry eats snails at Restaurant Le Posh, and is dragged out on a horrendous hike.
