The animated series Horrid Henry, based on the middle-grade Horrid Henry books written by Francesca Simon and illustrated by Tony Ross, are coming out on DVD in the UK, with new episodes starting in the summer of 2009, and the second season airing on ITV1 and CITV in the spring of 2009. In addition, Horrid Henry will be produced as a live stage show in the UK, premiering this fall, and produced by Watershed Productions and Sheffield Theatres.
I always find the transformation from book to video or stage interesting, and hope that it brings more readers to the books.
What about you? Do you like it or dislike it? Or not care about it at all?
Thanks to Cynopsis Kids for the info.
A musical based on Barbara Park’s Junie B. Jones books has opened off Broadway at NYC’s Lucille Lortel Theatre. The musical (the same name as the series) stars Jennifer Cody, and features lyrics by Marcy Heisler and music by Zina Goldrich.

Most times the book is better. Just my $0.02
Madison, I agree with you. I think most times the book is better!
I still hope that the movie, tv show, or play will get people to check out the book it’s based on.
It’s always a mix of anticipation and fear. Please, let them get it right!
I hear you, Ms S. I feel the same way when it’s a book I love! Like Inkheart….
