== Trivia ==
* In his diary, Henry states that at school, he poked William, tripped Linda, shoved Dave, pinched Andrew, made rude noises, chewed gum and kept talking in class. This could be a reference to "Horrid Henry Runs Away", where Miss Battle-Axe writes to Mum and Dad to complain about Henry doing those things, except this time Henry also copied Clare and did not do his homework.
* The book Henry read about 'a great kid who is always getting into trouble with a perfect younger brother and two super-mean parents' is an in-universe version of the Horrid Henry series.
* The story is written differently to most Horrid Henry books. With the exception of the beginning, the rest of it is iillustrations done by Tony Ross, written in-character as Horrid Henry. The extended version in Horrid Henry Shows Who's Boss is written in the standard text style.
