Great Book

I love all the Hank books, and this is a great one for the Christmas season. These books are hilarious and more important to the young reader, fun to read. I'd also check the rest of the series. Author of "Hobo Finds A Home" editor "Of A Predatory Heart"

A book that will blow you away

Hank the Cow Dog #25 is a good book to read. It is set on a ranch in the present. Hank is trying to sleep when the Charlie Monsters attack (a storm). So Hank & Drover have to run into Sally May's kitchen, where no dog has returned from. Can Hank live through the case? They get out of the kitchen alive but come face-to-face with the Swirling Killer Tornado and get sucked into it. I would recommend this book to 3rd-5th grade, because of how mature and funny it is.

The best Hank yet???

I have purchased approximately 12-14 Hank the Cowdog Audio Tapes/CDs for...ahem...the kids. Yeah, totally for the kids. Anyway, this one is my favorite. If you are considering any Hank Audio Books, this should be your first.We hear of Hank and Drover's adventures battling the terrible green Charlie Monsters and what happens when they come face to face with the most dreadful of realities...trapped in Sally May's KITCHEN.All the Hank audio books have classic lines that our family is often repeating (while laughing hysterically), but this one has some of the best:"I don't want to be a cat""You STOLE my BACON!""That will be 15 Shame-On-You's Drover"etc.Buy it...you'll thank me!

We have listened to this audio book several times. The first time we heard it was driving in the car and I had to pull over because I was laughing so hard I was afraid we'd have a wreck. Hank is not just for kids.
