Overview:
Here's Hank is the laugh-out-loud chapter book series from actor and author Henry Winkler and co-author Lin Oliver, following second-grader Hank Zipzer as he navigates school, friendships and family life with humour and heart. This factory-sealed 8-book paperback set collects the first eight adventures, each a short, illustrated read for children aged 6 to 8 building reading confidence. Inspired by Winkler's own dyslexia, the stories are warm, funny and reassuring.
About the Books:
Hank Zipzer is a bright, imaginative second-grader who doesn't always find reading and writing easy, but who never runs short of ideas or humour. Across this eight-book set, Hank talks to his beloved bookmark collection, adopts an enormous dog, chases an escaped classroom frog, gets tangled in a magic show gone wrong, imagines a zombie in his bathtub, learns to hug an actual elephant, battles the impossible task of drinking a meatball through a straw, and survives a soggy, foggy family campout. Each short, illustrated story is told in Hank's distinctive, funny voice, mixing everyday school and family situations with his larger-than-life imagination. The books use shorter chapters, larger text and plenty of illustrations, making them ideal for children who find reading daunting, as well as confident readers who simply want to laugh. Throughout, Hank's mishaps quietly celebrate creativity, kindness and perseverance. Henry Winkler has spoken openly about his own school struggles with dyslexia, and that experience shines through in Hank's character: a boy who stumbles but always gets back up with a joke and a plan.
