"We Love Nature Day" is fast approaching, and everyone in Hank's class gets to write and perform a poem. One problem: Hank has no idea where to start. Luckily his mom has a great idea – the family will go camping. Out in nature, Hank will be able to find plenty of inspiration. But when a rainstorm threatens to ruin their night, it's up to Hank to make sure the night doesn't turn into a soggy, foggy failure. Can he find the words for his nature poem – and the courage to help his family survive the night?

A new series about the irrepressible Hank Zipzer especially for younger readers – Here's Hank stars the same Hank as in the bestselling Hank Zipzer series, only this time he's in 2nd grade!
Henry "Hank" Zipzer doesn't try to be funny, but he somehow always makes the kids in his class laugh. He's pretty bad at memorising stuff, and spelling is his worst subject. (But so are maths and reading!)
Perfect for newly independent or reluctant readers, the series has black and white illustrations, short chapters and a font developed specifically for dyslexic readers. Hank Zipzer is based on Henry Winkler's own experience of growing up with dyslexia, and the books raise awareness of learning difficulties with sensitivity and just the right dose of humour.
Please Note: This series has also been published under the title Young Hank Zipzer.
