In the first book of this bestselling easy-to-read series, Hank goes on a zoo adventure and befriends an elephant!

When Hank's class takes a field trip to the zoo, he quickly gets lost after his partner (and nemesis) ditches him. Unable to read the map, Hank wanders and finds himself locked in a habitat with Elsie, an elephant recently rescued and kept isolated. He begins a game of soccer with her, and they become fast friends. But when Hank notices how lonely Elsie is, he's determined to help her find her own animal friends.
This bestselling series written by Henry Winkler and Lin Oliver is perfect for the transitional reader. With a unique, easy-to-read font, endless humor, and characters every kid would want to be friends with, any story with Hank is an adventure! "Amusing dialogue and a typeface designed to accomodate dyslexic readers adroitly target kids with reading difficulties of their own. Garrett's cheery b&w cartoons bring additional energy to the story, matching that of Hank himself."
