My son loves reading Horrid Henry books but its not like he is going to copy him! He tells me when HH does/says something in the book that is naughty and what he should have done/ said instead! I think they are great! :smiley:

That's brilliant. Well done op.

cheap at £1 each let alone for boxset.

What age group are these suitable for?

Depends on the reading ability of the child. I would say 7-10 is the target age. But my nephews are 13 and 14 and still enjoy reading them.

I bought my set for year 3 and 4 classes :smiley:

Also works out at a pound each with the set available from The Book People - but obviously there may be p&p unless you order enough to get it free.

WOW nice find.

Were they sealed in the box?

Yea they were sealed in the box :smiley:

Book people offer is £10 for a box set. So £1 a book?
This is £1 for the box set so 10p a book!

Book ppl use yodel.......they lost my order last year....and book ppl oos.... so never got my books. Will not use book ppl because they use yodel! Good find :smile:

Thank you for getting back to me. I will check my local at the weekend. Great find :smiley:

Not the best of role models for young children.

stonkin'

mad books :smirk: not suitable for kids :smiley:

They had box sets like that in my local a few moths ago & they wouldn't let me buy them as they said they separate them & sell them individual so great if you can get them as pound land by me won't let you buy them in a set

Sounds like you have a good young man there but some children would see Henry as a role model and find his mischievous and rude behaviour attractive.

Great price! I can agree about role models, but in this world we need to establish what is right and wrong as the role model adults and can't stop children from seeing this, so use it as an example. Mydaughter tells me about what Henry does, and knows if it's bad, which just encourages her to not be 'horrid' heat added for comparison we love reading! Thanks

We all love horrid Henry in our house. Fab price OP :smile:

I work in poundland these books are £1 a book not box set you must of found 1 before it had been split into individuals

Well I bough 2 and the lady behind me bought 2.
Came up on receipt as Horrid Henry asstd books. There were about 30 packs on the shelf.

NOT available ONLINE and therefore NOT available in all shops.

Sounds very much like a one off deal!

Please check with your local store if they have the deal!

My sons were bullied by a child that loves horrid Henry and directly used some of the things in the book in real life. It wasn't until I was unfortunate enough to see a few minutes of the cartoon I realised where the things were coming from. Teaches about gangs amongst other things and I sorry but a teacher buying them for a class is disgraceful. The books have been barred from some of our local schools now.

Nothing in the Chelmsford store

So 837 heat for a 1 off mis-price
Gotta love this site...

That's horrid lol have some heat

​ How do you get a mis-price at "Pound" land? I assume the pricing gun doesn't change very often... :wink:

You should watch pound land wars on TV , you would be surprised at the different prices in store aka managers specials

I think they are slowly changing their model. Have you been in one lately? The first few stacks of items are stuff priced 2 quid plus and "specials" which can be anything up to a tenner. Sad really.

I went to my local yesterday after seeing this but they were all separate you had a great find

Really terrific! Cheers, Jon

Talking about 7 year old children who behaved exactly as a character did not an adult who should know better. Books have been banned for much less. It's not just one child that's bullied or behaved in a way similar to that in the book yes bad parenting on those parents but why should the minority of well behaved and well parented children deal with those bad ones. Lots of schools are now looking at what is acceptable or not maybe they are just not telling you. They might make the choice if they have them in the library or not or if they are completely banned as in a large school not in my county even went as far as to ban dressing up as him for world book day because of the bad influence. Even some local police and community workers use his character as how not to behave when they do visits and anti bullying courses.

Not available in any of the Bristol stores

The point is, banning the book is not going to stop a child being bullied. The root cause of the bullying is not a piece of literature, its the factors involved in that childs development i.e. parenting and environment. Banning literature is just ignorant. And on the flipside of your argument, why should other children be denied the pleasure of reading a story on the basis of another childs poor actions? Its not logical.

nothing in ventura tamworth today

Excellent buy

No boxed sets in Cambridge yesterday.

I would rather a book be removed from a school to stop a child being bullied than anything else. If it was your child which would you prefer? My boys both think the books are awful as do most of the children in the class. A few in minority that can read the book at home of they wish. My priority in this situation is my children and welfare not a book. End of. Out your self in my shoes or rather put your children in the situation

Not sure why this is so hot, has anyone else actually managed to get one? None in my local stores......

I have put my self in your shoes and I wouldn't ban a book. I would find out why the child thinks it's OK to bully, not question his choice of methodology.

If you think that if (s)he hadn't read that book (s)he wouldn't have bullied your child then I don't think you quite understand the psychology of it.

THey were £1 a book, not boxset, in Chester store.

can never find poundland offers in Weston hot I wish I looked today

I live in Weston so for once its not a goose chase for me !

I can confirm these were put out as a mistake and should have been sold seperetly so the op was lucky !

so not really a deal then
