What is Story of Horrible Hilda about?

Hilda and Henry are not ordinary children: they are wonderfully, wilfully naughty. After wrecking the house, squirting their parents with a hose and causing chaos at mealtimes, their exasperated parents decide they have had enough and take them to the zoo. There, the mischievous pair play tricks on the animals and stir up even more trouble. But when they come face to face with a fierce lion, Hilda and Henry may discover that being horrible is not always such fun.
