About this audiobook

Underachiever Hank Zipzer goes on an unfortunate school camping trip in a comical, kid-friendly novelization of the popular BBC series based on Henry Winkler's best-selling books.

What will it take for Mom and Dad to trust Hank to go to the mall unsupervised with his friends? Cooking a family dinner — er, disaster — doesn't exactly say “responsible.” But what if Hank signs up for the school's notorious survival camp and makes it through the whole weekend? Maybe he should factor in being teamed up with his nemesis, McKelty, in a leaky tent, not to mention a desperate search for a cell phone in a field of cow pies.... The amiable character originated by Henry Winkler — inspired by his own childhood — comes to life in a humorous adventure.

    Kids will love this book! Hank Zipzer, our underachiever, can be lazy at times, unfocused and easily side-tracked. But, he really wants to go to the mall with his friends without parental supervision and needs to convince his parents that he is responsible enough and mature enough to do this. So, he signs up for a weekend survival camp with the school's toughest teacher. What ensues is hilarity that I think most kids 7 - 10 will appreciate. There is some really funny stuff here with plenty of laugh-out-loud moments. Hank's sister also learns a valuable life lesson along the way. Recommended. What I really love about this book is the font. The book uses a "dyslexia-friendly" font to make it more readable for readers with dyslexia. I received this book through the LibraryThing Early Reviewers program in exchange for an honest review.

    This is a fine book for kids. It definitely includes all of the silly and gross elements kids love. I’m not sure how relatable this story is to real life, but it is a very fun read. I like how this font is used to increased readability for kids with dyslexia. I can imagine that this would be an entertaining read when kids are reading for pleasure. In my opinion, it lacks a bit of educational value. That may make kids like it even more. :)

    I received this book as part of the LibraryThing Early Reviewers program. Hank Zipzer is a kid who acts before thinking, and is motivated by friends, his reputation, and his personal blend of creative curiosity. He could be a very relatable character, particularly for students in late elementary school or early middle school. The author includes many gross or silly moments that will hook most late elementary/early middle grade readers. This specific book was published with a particular font that is supposed to be easier for readers with dyslexia to read. I liked the font and felt that it made the book very comfortable to read, and I am not a reader who has dyslexia. Overall, this was a light and fun read that would be wonderful for a student who is practicing increasing their reading stamina, and needs a book that will help them experience the momentum of beginning, continuing, and finishing reading in a shorter period of time. I am excited to add this book to my classroom library and to share this book with my 6th grade students!

    A fun read. Hank takes extreme measures to prove to his overprotective parents that he is responsible enough to go to the mall with his friends.

    Theo Baker's book, “Hank Zipzer: The Cow Poop Treasure Hunt”, was a lot of fun to read. Poor Hank opens the story by finding himself in a stinky situation. He was “on his hands and knees in the mud, rummaging through cow pies. In the middle of the night.” Yes, cow pies, the kind that you certainly do NOT bring over to Aunt Sue’s house for Thanksgiving dessert. This leaves the reader, and Hank himself, wondering how he came to be in this udderly terrible situation. Not to worry, the book goes back into time to give us the poop, I mean scoop, of the situation. The dyslexia-friendly font was a nice bonus, and I had no troubles getting used to it. I can see children ages 8-11 really getting a kick out of Hank’s misadventures.

    Hank Zipper is a silly story; lots of kids love to read wacky fiction and this book fits the bill. It's recommended for ages 7-10 though I think it should be a bit higher depending on reading ability. A "dyslexia-friendly" font was interesting to see and with short chapters, the 130 pages will fly by for even the least confident reader.Hank's going camping and hopes to prove he's a responsible kid to his parents. But this is a greater challenge than he realized, like how do you even pack for a survival camping trip? It gets no better and far more comical when Hank is paired with McKelty when his buddy Frankie is covered with cow poop! Shenanigans ensue and if your students love reading about adventure and chaos with lots of laughter, too, they will love this one!

    Hank Zipzer is so laid-back that some people might actually mistake him for being an underachiever. Well, ok, so maybe he is a little bit of an underachiever, but Hank means well and is desperate to prove to his over-protective parents that he can be responsible and trusted to do the right thing at the right time. All he really wants is for them to trust him enough to let him go to the mall with his friends so what better time to prove himself than during the annual school survival camping trip. Right? Not so fast.It turns out that it’s not so easy to become the New Hank when it involves digging through cow poop to find a cellphone, enduring drenching thunderstorms, and having people throwing up all around you. Even McKelty, Hank’s long-standing nemesis, whose family hasn’t had a barfer in seven generations broke the family tradition and joined the messy melee. How is Hank going to make it through the darkest night of his life and make sure that everyone survives right along with him? An engaging, relatable, and lovable character, Hank is sure to become a fast-favorite with young readers everywhere. If you enjoyed Hank and his antics, be sure to check out the other books in this great series!As an added bonus, the book is set in OpenDyslexic, a dyslexia-friendly font that was designed to improve readability for readers with dyslexia.

    The Cow Poo Treasure Hunt was a quick and easy read about Hank, a teenager with learning disabilities, who goes on an overnight camping trip to prove his maturity to his parents. The story opens with Hank and arch-enemy, McKelty, digging through cow patties and then follows Hank's hapless journey to that point.TCPTH was a fun and very quick read. It uses a dyslexia friendly font, which took some getting used to, but was extremely easy to read after some adjustment. I appreciated that Hank was open about the challenges he's presented with, both because of his learning disabilities and his parents over-protectiveness. I highly recommend this book for students who face the same challenges and would appreciate both the heroic end and the journey presented in the story.
