Summary: Hank the Space(y) Cowdog!!!
Review: "Hank the Cowdog" was the first series of book I ever really got into. Reading these books made me laugh and laugh and I now have great memories of passing pleasant hours with Hank. The characters are great and the stories are very entertaining. I think my love of reading is partly due to my first experiences of reading with this series. I hope to one day get my own children hooked on reading by introducing them to Hank. Thank you, Mr. Erickson.

Summary: It just doesn't get any better than this!
Review: Great book. Lots of Laughs. Something to think about. Kids like it-we-adults-love it. We listen to it often and still end up laughing-and we are not ranchers or farmers. We even named a pup, Hank. Hank's histrionics definitely give us something to talk about-a common language and social/literary reference. John Erickson is a genius and Hank is a scream!

Summary: Laughter for the young and old
Review: I read this book to my students (third and fourth graders) at the recommendation of a publisher/teacher friend. I had heard from other teacher friends that "kids love the cliffhangers at the end of every chapter" and that "this is the only book my students would sit still for." All that, true. What I hadn't expect was how much I would enjoy it as well. My husband is also hooked on the series and I've gotten one of the books for my sister-in-law who was a reluctant reader until Hank came along. I strongly recommend adding this book to your own library, your kids' library, and, if you are a fellow teacher, your school library.

Hank ran away from home and wanted to be an outlaw. Later Hank found a coyote with a can on its head. Hank and the coyote became friends and the coyote wanted Hank to meet his friends.The book is REALLY exciting it got a lot of adventure. The book is kind of easy to read. I rate this book a 5.

Summary: The Original Adventures of Hank the Cowdog
Review: This book is so sweet it should of won the Newberry award for best book. Even though a third grader could read it I at age almost 18 still enjoyed the doggy dog days of Hank. The little words in the big print makes it easy and enjoyable to read. I think Hank speaks the truth about life and the bad things that are out there. Hank teaches kids not to do drugs and kill chickens. I believe that Hank the Cowdog is a great inspiration to us all. Also allowing younger readers to believe in themselves.

Summary: A confusing, absurd, and hilarious series.
Review: This book is the first in the Hank the Cowdog Series. It introduces the characters well. Hank is very conceited and never admits to being wrong. It is always someone else's fault. But his conversations with Drover (his sidekick) are hilarious because of this. This book doesn't have quite the absurdity which makes the later volumes so funny, but it has a better plot than some. Of course, Hank leaves the ranch, like in most of the books. And of course, he comes back.

Summary: Really fun book for kids
Review: This is a nice and entertaining book for kids. I read it aloud to my 3rd grade daughter and together we laughed and had a great time. It is written from the first person (dog)adds much to the story. Hank (the cowdog) has attitude, faces evils, and learns much about himself and his role as "head of ranch security." Only one caution is needed, Hank the Cowdog does not use proper English (often using "them" in place of "those" which is a personal irritation of mine) and his spelling is sometimes poor, but these are done in a humorous way and add flavor to the story.

Summary: Hank the Cowdog
Review: When I first got this book, before I read it, I was a bit apprehensive; A book written from a dog's perspective? Give me a break!. After I started it though I couldn't stop laughing, Hank is a bone-headed dog with an over-inflated ego, but the story isn't a bit tacky. Hank blunders around his ranch, barking at the mailman (you never know what those guys are up to), "investigating" murders (burp), and getting yelled at by Sally May. You'll love not only this book but the whole series. Let me warn you, you will become addicted to Hank the Cowdog; and the audio-tapes are even better. When is the last time you listen to a book on tape? Well, forget that, those were READ, Hank on tape is PERFORMED by the author.
