DESCRIPTION:
Gayland R. Darnell said Unquestionably the best Hank book yet!. I admit itI am definitely "hooked" on Hank's latest adventure. Here's why:1) John Erickson gets better with each Hank volume. In each new book in this series, he fine tunes the characters, until they become more and more life-like. Although I enjoy Hank, Pete, Slim, Loper and all the other characters, Drover is my favoriteand in this adventure his true "Droverness" comes shining through. This new book is a wonderful example of Mr. Erickson's talents. It is great reading for kids of ALL ages!"Unquestionably the best Hank book yet!" according to Gayland R. Darnell.

Gerald Holmes r. ) I didn't actually count them, but it seems there are more illustrations in this book than in the previous Hank titles. Gerald Holmes r. Alissa Theis Buus said Laugh Out Loud Funny. This was one of the first of many Hank books my son and I read together, and this one stands out to me as still one of the funniest. It's classic Hank, calling it a "vanishing" fish hook, when he surely knows what happened to it! Bumbling and goofy, yet trying to hang on to whatever shred of dignity he can muster, it's laugh-out-loud funny toward the end when the fish hook finally reappears. I don't want to ruin the story for you, but suffice it to say that Erickson doesn't let us down with this edition of Hank's adventures.. A Customer said Critique of The Case of the Vanishing Fishhook. I liked the book, The Case of the Vanishing Fishhook, because it was funny. One of the funniest parts of this book was when Hank, the cowdog, ate the soap. Hank had swallowed a fishhook. Then he swallowed soap to help him spit the hook out. This is the funniest "Hank" book written by John R. Erickson. I give this book a five-star rating and I recommend that you read it immediately!
It doesn't take long for the pup to put two and two together and discover that a missing fishhook is in his stomach along with the liver. From School Library Journal Grade 3-6-Erickson once again captures the voice of a gullible, lovable dog in this new installment about a big-eared pooch who lives on and guards a ranch. Unable to resist, Hank eats the liver that the boy is using as bait. Later that day, when the five-year-old son of Hank's owner disobeys his mother and goes fishing on his own, he takes the dog with him. The author portrays
That routine expedition turns into a first-class crisis when Hank reels in more than he bargained for. Hank's day begins defending the ranch against a vicious one-eyed robot. After that exhausting morning, Hank supervises Little Alfred's fishing trip. A vanishing fishhook? Is there hope for Hank, or is it curtains for our hero?
