Horrid Henry Robs the Bank [Paperback]

<p>Four brand new stories in which Horrid Henry helps himself to all the money he needs to win his favorite board game, comes up with another spectacular money-making scheme for launching a newspaper with all the school gossip, vows vengeance on Perfect Peter when Peter steals his birthday party theme and has his own Pirate Party—and gets his revenge by taking over as head teacher when Peter plays school with his goody-goody friends.</p><p><b>Chapter 1</b></p><p>"It's not fair!" howled Horrid Henry. "I want a Hip-Hop Robot dog!"</p><p>Horrid Henry needed money. Lots and lots and lots of money. His parents didn't need money, and yet they had tons more than he did. It was so unfair. Why was he so brilliant at spending money, and so bad at getting money? </p><p>And now Mom and Dad refused to buy him something he desperately needed.</p><p>"You have plenty of toys," said Mom.</p><p>"Which you never play with," said Dad.</p><p>"That's 'cause they're all so boring!" screeched Henry. "I want a robot dog!"</p><p>"Too expensive," said Mom.</p><p>"Too noisy," said Dad.</p><p>"But everyone has a Hip-Hop Robot Dog," whined Henry. "Everyone but me."</p><p>Horrid Henry stomped out of the room. How could he get some money? </p><p>Wait. Maybe he could persuade Peter to give him some. Peter always had tons of cash because he never bought anything.</p><p>Yes! He could hold Peter's Bunnykins for ransom. He could tell Peter his room was haunted and get Peter to pay him for ghostbusting. He could make Peter donate to Henry's favorite charity, Child in Need... Hip-Hop Robot Dog, here I come, thought Horrid Henry, bursting into Peter's bedroom.</p><p>Perfect Peter and Tidy Ted were whispering together on the floor. Papers were scattered all around themlăs
