Halfway Hank

Reach for this book when your child seems to have a thousand projects started but none finished, or when their room is a graveyard of half-built LEGO towers and single socks. Halfway Hank follows a boy who does everything, well, halfway. He eats half his breakfast, brushes half his teeth, and even wears one shoe. It is a lighthearted but effective look at the chaos that 'almost' causes. Through humor rather than lecturing, the story highlights the personal pride that comes from reaching the finish line. It is ideal for preschool and early elementary children (ages 3-7) who are beginning to take on more independent responsibilities. Parents will appreciate how it turns a common behavioral frustration into a shared joke, making it easier to encourage a 'see it through' attitude.
