Reach for this book when your child feels like they are failing at the standard ways of doing things, especially if they have been diagnosed with a learning disability like dyslexia. It is an ideal choice for the student who is frequently in trouble for being distracted or disorganized, yet possesses a brilliant, creative mind that simply operates on a different frequency. In this installment, Hank Zipzer finds himself separated from his class during a trip to the zoo. While most kids would panic or follow the rules, Hank uses his unique perspective to navigate his environment. The story balances high-energy humor with the very real emotional weight of feeling 'different' in a school setting. It is a validating, joyful read for children ages 6 to 9 who need to see that their out-of-the-box thinking is a superpower rather than a setback.
