Hank Prank and Hot Henrietta
Illustrated by Lisa Kopper
(Puffin Books)
978-0140321258, RRP £3.25, Paperback
5-8 Infant/Junior
12 lively, well-rounded episodes about Hank and his little sister Henrietta -- spirited and rumbustious children, the bane of parents and teachers. Cleverly alternated chapters -- one about Hank, one about Henrietta -- keep the interest. There are some vivid school and playground scenes: my sixes particularly liked the one about a class's first encounter with a new (male) teacher. Super dialogue and the jokes are fresh and tangy.
