Horrible Harry and the Ant Invasion Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Harry is a boy whose ambition is to be a great scientist. His red curly hair is a distinctive feature and he is an example of the type of child that seems to be found in every second grade class. While his intentions are good, he always seems to be in the wrong place when something goes wrong. Hence his is tagged with the "horrible" prefix.
There are four adventures in this book. In the one that gives the book its' title, Harry's class acquires an ant farm for study. When a small number escape, Harry is ingenious in capturing them without injuring them. The second story describes the effort the teacher makes to teach the children how to square dance. As is typical of second grade boys, most have no interest in dancing with girls. However, Harry is interested, especially when it is Song Lee, his favorite girl in the class. In the third story, the class has a fish tank and someone turns the temperature up so that one dies. Harry is blamed for this, but of course he didn't do it and the culprit is discovered. The final story is about the class photograph and the antics of the photographer in trying to get the children to smile for the photos.
Elementary school is an adventurous time in the life of a child and this book contains four adventures that are very typical of what happens. We did not have an ant farm when I was in elementary school, but each of the remaining three things happened when I was in elementary school. For these reasons, I recommend this book for young children.
