Editorial Review:

Product Description:
While visiting his sister in town, Hank contracts a mysterious case of "soap hydrophobia"--and ends up in the dog pound!

USA Today calls the hilarious Hank the Cowdog series "...the best family entertainment in years."

Hank is a scruffy, smart-alecky supersleuth with a nose for danger and an eye for the ladies.

Rating: - Cute little story, well written
Hank is a simple story, probably good for 8-12 year olds, but it is quite well done. The author does not glorify Hank.
