Bookmarks Are People Too! #1 (Here's Hank) Paperback – Illustrated, February 6, 2014

I loved this book about Hank, a child who has learning issues with math and reading, but has a gift for humor. He is well loved by his classmates and has such a positive attitude! I can't wait to order the other Hank books!

Bought this to read to my 5yr old daughter. It's one of the only books we got to the end of. I enjoyed it for myself. I also love that the audio is read by Henry Winkler.

My 6 and 8 year old daughters loved the plot of this book, and, as a parent, so did I.Why I liked this book:*Has a plot that is interesting and full of humor my kids can enjoy.*The main character was bullied and not the best in school but used humor and confidence to diffuse both situations.*Shows great examples of how to be a good friend; the main characters helped rather than teased or put down each other.*Unlike the Magic Tree House Series, the Here's Hank books use correct sentence structure, grammar, and punctuation, setting a good example for emerging readers/writers.*Uses the dyslexie font, and a larger font size. My 8 year old daughter is not diagnosed dyslexic, but does not take the time to properly sound out words and often mixes things up--I noticed that this happens less with this book, and even my first grader seems to read this easier than some other books, even though there are more challenging words in this one.*There are a few pictures to break up each chapter.*Girls and boys are friends.Note: The chapters in this book are fairly long, and might seem daunting for your first or second grader if the child is not a strong reader. I read this first book in the series as a read aloud, and each child took turns reading a few pages from each chapter, and I read the rest. In this way we finished the book in just a couple of days, as the kids always wanted to read more. I have to say, I am way more impressed with this book than I initially thought I was going to be, and will be ordering more books in the series.

Great…..easy to read ….well written!!! Enjoyed……knowing I’m alone !!

This book is printed using dyslexie, a font that people with dyslexia can read. It is also easier for both young and old to read. The stories are full of adventures in a normal school with three friends in the second grade. Hank has a hard time in school but his best friend , Frankie, and his new friend Ashley, are outstanding students. There is a class play. Hank wants to try out for a part. His friends help him try to memorize a part. He forgets things---the script. There is a class bully. To find out what happens read the book and then the series!

This is a great book for children aged 8-11. The reading level of the book is a level N. The book is both funny and teaches a great lesson. My students loved it!

We love Hank so much! My daughter is dyslexic, to read about a kid just like her has been so helpful! We also fell in love with the font and look for it everywhere now. It truly makes a difference. Thank you for writing these books to make my awkward girl feel special. I can’t begin to tell you how much these books mean to us. As soon as we finish one she asks for another. This has NEVER happened before and we’ve tried so many series. She just finished a book report on this and did a character write up. Her favorite thing about Hank? He’s funny and kind. It made me want to aspire to be a little more like Hank. You’re changing lives with these books. Thank you again.

This a wonderful, creative story that touches on the struggles of a child with dyslexia. As a child with dyslexia is much more than his disability, this amusing tale bring this to light with a clever plot and a satisfying twist at the end. As a reading teacher who specializes with this population, I love finding new books to share with my students. I especially like the caring, supportive attitude shown to Hank by his classmates. They and his teacher help him feel an integral part of the classroom and an important cog in the whole educational experience.
