Review Detail

Frank is visiting his Cousin Hank, whom everyone believes is sweet, so they all encourage Hank to be on his best behavior. Unfortunately for Hank, Frank pulls a prank, and Hank gets blamed for it, which starts a battle of one-upping each other. This continues until someone intervenes and stops their antics, or do they?

What I Liked: This book opens by introducing you to Frank and letting you know that his cousin Frank is visiting. This book makes it clear that Frank has been a bit of a problem in the past when Hank visits; therefore, it is surprising to find out that things aren’t quite as they seem. This book will have you holding onto your sides as you wait to see if Hank and Frank are going to get caught with their pranks.

The illustrations throughout this book add character to the humorous antics of Hank and Frank. The colors used are vibrant, and the backgrounds do a great job of highlighting the important pieces of each illustration. The words on each page are visible and come to life through the illustrations, making it feel like you are watching a movie short play out in real time.

Final Verdict: Hank Meets Frank is a fun and humorous story that children ages 3 and up will enjoy as they relate to the relationship that these cousins have with one another. Children will laugh as everyone believes that Hank is a troublemaker, while Frank gets away with everything. This book is perfect for siblings who might have similar dynamics as Frank and Hank do.
