Bookmarks Are People Too! #1 (Here's Hank)

Read Free Books and Download eBooks

Hank stars the same Hank as in the bestselling Hank Zipzer series, only this time he's in 2nd grade! Hank is a kid who doesn't try to be funny, but he somehow always makes the kids in his class laugh. He's pretty bad at memorizing stuff, and spelling is his worst subject. (But so are math and reading!) In the first book in this new series, Hank's class is putting on a play, and Hank wants the lead part: Aqua Fly. But he freezes in his audition and can only buzz like a fly. His teacher creates a special part for Hank, a silent bookmark. This may seem like an insignificant role, but when his enemy, Nick McKelty, freezes during the performance, it's up to Hank to save the play!

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.

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.

This series is perfect for second graders. It's character building, relatable, and provides loads of laughter. I read this with my son and had several belly laughs with him! The pages are filled with great illustrations that appeal particularly well to children. You will root for the underdog and see compassion in your own child as you read it. It will impart great strategies for handling difficult situations. Hank is creative, resouceful and best of all....human!

A wonderful book! Funny and enjoyable for the whole family. Even our Grandpa loved it! The book is well written. Shows nice character development and an interesting story line. I especially appreciated it because it is a book in which the main character does not like to read books. I think many school age children will be able to relate and maybe even get turned on to reading!

Bookmarks are People Too! is another one of Henry Winkler's books and again his book is wildly entertaining. Any child who read this book will connect with Hank as the everyone has had a student in the class that is the class clown.But what about the child that is not a good reader. As a reading specialist and author myself. I really love Bookmarks are People too! and I know you will too.

This book is great for kids who would rather play video games or watch TV than read. My son who is in 1st grade wanted nothing to do with books until I bought him this and now he reads every night and can't put it down! Helped kicked his video game addiction! ( He is playing them a lot less and reading a lot more and liking it!) I highly recommend this book!

Loved this book! My reluctant second grade reader with ADHD finally finished a full chapter book on his own. He needed a book for a cereal box book report and this was a winner. Once he got into the story he was hooked. No fight to get him to read it. He is asking for the next three books in the series and is even willing to do another report. That alone speaks volumes for our experience with this book:) Enjoy!

We like Henry Winkler and we heard him talk about his Hank books during a TV interview. So we decided to get one of his books for our six year old granddaughter.It's a little too advanced for our six year old to read on her own so my wife read it to her. Both she and my wife enjoyed Here's Hank - Bookmarks are People Too and we have already ordered more of the series.
