Synopsis

A honkingly-hilarious tale about the importance of being considerate to others, with stylish illustrations from the super-talented Duncan Beedie (I Really Really Need a Wee, Agent Llama, Heavy Metal Badger).Meet Hank the Goose. He's never met a balloon he didn't pop, or a conversation he didn't - HONK! - interrupt. Hank even honks in the library and during movies! But being this way isn't always fun - and it's upsetting everyone else . . . Maybe it's time for a change? Time for Hank to learn how to be an im-PECK-able goose! Only it's not quite as easy as it looks . . .

This hilarious picture book teaches children the importance of being mindful and kind to others. With a loveable anti-hero and told with deadpan humour, fans of Don't Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus! by Mo Willems, The Bad Seed by Jory John and Pete Oswald, and I Can Only Draw Worms by Will Mabbitt will have a HONK-ingly good time with Hank Goes Honk.

Hank Goes Honk is the HILARIOUS picture book about Hank the silly goose and his very silly habits. Hank doesn't always make the right choices and sometimes puts himself before others, something the narrator is trying to teach him not to do. Can Hank learn from his mistakes?

Although the story is very funny, it does have a lovely meaning about being kind and considerate to others. The tale also brings in new language that children may not necessarily know and teaches them the meanings of these words.

Hank Goes Honk had me laughing out loud and I am sure it will have lots of children laughing and enjoying it also. I think stories like this make reading exciting and fun and show children how amazing books can be. I cannot wait to share this with my class and let the laughter flow!
