Hank - Softcover

HANK (Or How We Tried To Get Rid Of Our Ants) is a story (for children5 to 65)about a family that tries to solve its ant problem by getting an anteater, only to find that their problems have just begun. As we discover, Hank eats a lot more than just ants! Written in fun rhyming verse and brought to life with enchanting illustrations, Hank captures the peculiar (if exaggerated) eating habits of this odd little creature and shows how one bright idea can save the day-and save Hank from being sent back to the wild.
