Here's 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 second book in this new series,
Hank has finally persuaded his dad to get the family a dog, and Hank
couldn't be more excited! Mesmerized by a little wiener dog chasing his
tail (making him look like a Cheerio) at the animal shelter, Hank
declares him to be the new Zipzer dog. But when Cheerio gets loose in
the park, Mr. Zipzer furiously announces that the dog must go. Can Hank
convince his father that he wasn't the one who let Cheerio off his
leash, or will he really lose his new pet and best friend?
