Book 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.

Our Review Panel says...

Hank the Goose is a character with whom many of us will be familiar; he can upset others and struggles to deal with his impulsivity. Finding himself lonely, we see him try to manage his big emotions and start afresh, but that isn’t always easy for our goose. Thanks to the kindness and tolerance of others, Hank learns to reflect on his behaviour and make positive changes.

This book carefully delivers powerful messages to its readers in a fun and amusing way. Children will laugh out loud with Hank while learning about tolerance and respect for others, building those core values, as well as the importance of being kind.

With wonderful illustrations and a story that interweaves simplicity with adventurous language, you cannot help but love Hank – flaws and all!
