Join a lovable antihero on a hilarious adventure exploring friendship and kindness in this delightful picture book for fans of Don't Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus.

Hank is a super loud, super rude goose, and his friends are fed up! Can he learn to be less honk and more heart?


Hank is one rude goose. He doesn't see anything wrong with interrupting others when they're speaking. He helps himself to the cherries on the top of other people's cupcakes. He makes loud noises in the library and movie theater...and he's upsetting everyone!

But being rude, loud, and obnoxious can't always be fun—in fact, it can be downright lonely. Will Hank find a way to be more considerate of his friends? Kids will love Hank's hilarious antics and silly noises, brought to life with vibrant, whimsical illustrations that pop off the page. Grown-ups will appreciate the lessons of friendship, recognizing others’ feelings, and being considerate of those around us.
Maudie Powell-Tuck spends too much of her time in expensive shops looking at clothes and glittery things she can’t afford, and dreaming about owning a pug named Stanley (when she's not writing, of course). She’d love to say that she runs marathons – but that would be a lie.

Duncan Beedie is an author and illustrator with more than 15 years of  experience working in children's media. He began his career in children's TV as an animator before branching into design and animation for websites, games, and educational apps. In his spare time, Duncan likes to walk his dog and help his daughter improve her video-gaming skill set.
