1-3Here's Hank series.
Illustrated by
Scott Garrett.
In his ninth chapter book, NYC second grader Hank helps at his mother's deli, The Crunchy Pickle, for Take Your Child to Work Day. Hank, who has learning disabilities, makes more than a few mistakes, but the good-natured kid bounces back, as usual. Grayscale spot art breaks up the approachable underdog story. The typeface used throughout is designed to benefit dyslexic readers.
