Synopsis

Hi there, I'm Hank.

Here’s what you need to know about me: I don’t try to make the kids in my class laugh, but somehow I do. Spelling is my worst subject. (Come to think of it, so are math and reading!) I try hard—I really do. So why does my brain always freeze into a Popsicle?

More than anything, Hank wants a dog. But before he can get one, his dad is laying down some rules. First, Hank has to improve his grades. Next, he has to prove that he’s a responsible pet owner. Can Hank get his brain to cooperate, so he can get his new furry best friend?

My son will not read. It took me a few weeks to convince him to let me read this to him. I had never mentioned the dog. One night I pointed out that there was a dog in the book. We turned a corner. He not only wanted me to read it, he wanted me to point at the words while I read so he could follow.......more

Having just heard Henry Winkler speak last week, maybe I'm loving this book more than I would otherwise. He is a delightful, engaging, moving speaker and he signed all three of my books with a grin on his face! It is possible that created a little bias. I haven't read any of the Hank Zipzer series (y......more
