The Day of the Iguana #3 (Hank Zipzer) : Winkler, Henry, Oliver, Lin: desertcart.in: Books Review: When Happy Days was at the top of the TV ratings, Henry Winkler, as Arthur Fonzarelli, did a lot to influence the kids of America. He has done it again with the third in this series. The narrative flows easily, sounds like it was written by a 10 year old (which, in this case, is a good thing), and contains vivid images that stay with the reader. While it is helpful to have already read the other two novels, the story manages to fill in missing gaps. Kids can relate to the characters and teachers can easily see themselves. As a teacher, this book has helped me to re-think how I approach kids who have dyslexia or other learning disabilities. Henry Winkler is a great guy and I am thrilled with this latest facet of his career! Review: i bought this book to try and get my son to do more reading (hes bored of the floppy books school send home all the time). he hates reading with a passion, so i started reading it to him. he found it funny and started to take interest in it himself. i like the way that it is brought into the story that the boy has learning difficulties as its done in a way that there is no shame in it. as i was reading it to my son (hes 9) he kept saying that the boy sounds just like him, as he has difficulty with school and reading. highly recommended book

Our son is loving this series. He’s in 5th grade and after reading 2 of the books, we just bought him another. He can’t wait to dive into it and learn more about Hank’s adventures!

The Hank Zipzer series of books are the greatest. Great job Henry Winkler and Lin Oliver ! They have such great (clean) humor and what memories it brings back from those awkward elementary school years. These books are geared not just for kids, but for adult enjoyment too. My son and I have read the first 4 and loved them all. They make for a nice book report for school too, each around 150 pages and they just whiz by. Another thing we like is that even from the first paragraph, it has your attention. :)
