Lovable antihero Hank the goose is back in this hilarious Christmas picture book for kids ages 3-7, just right for fans of Don't Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus.

It's almost Christmas, and Hank just can't WAIT! But his impatience causes chaos everywhere. Will he learn to be patient and appreciate the buildup to the holiday season?


Hank the goose is back! And he just can’t wait for Christmas! From gobbling the Advent calendar in one sitting to crash-landing at the North Pole, Hank’s impatience causes chaos at every turn. But when he gets a chance to help Santa’s elves at the workshop, will Hank embrace the true spirit of Christmas--or will that gigantic sack of toys prove to be too tempting?

Meet Hank the goose, the star of every Hank Goes Honk story. He’s energetic and full of personality (a little too much at times), but lovable all the same. Through his humorous adventures, Hank learns lessons about friendship, kindness, and manners, making him the perfect companion for toddlers.
Maudie Powell-Tuck has been writing, editing, and dreaming about picture books for more than 12 years. She has worked in a children’s bookstore and as an editor for a children’s publisher, so she can enthuse about kids’ books ‘til the cows come home. When not writing or editing, Maudie can be found wandering around charity shops with her kids, reading, and watching embarrassingly trashy reality TV. She is forever losing her hearing aids and has dropped her phone 1,345,566 times. Miraculously it still works.

Duncan Beedie is a best-selling children's author and illustrator from Bristol. He has worked on a number of Tiger Tales titles, including the Agent Llama series by Angela Woolfe, The I Really, Really Need . . . series by Karl Newson, and his own story, Heavy Metal Badger, which has been nominated for several children's literature awards. When not drawing badgers, bears, and bush babies, Duncan likes to get out in the woods or sit in a comfy chair to read ghost stories.
