Illustrated by
Jack E. Davis.
Whatever he does, Hank does it halfway. In a spoon-and-egg race, he uses half a spoon and drops his egg, and he gets lost in a tracking competition with half a map. Finally, Hank decides to win the hundred-meter race by telling himself it's two hundred meters. The rhyming story and goofy illustrations present a humorous look at overcoming one's limitations.
