Lovable antihero Hank the goose is back to in this hilarious friendship picture book for kids, just right for fans of Don't Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus.

Cousin Frank is the perfect little angel...or so everyone thinks. But when he pulls a prank and Hank gets blamed, it's game on! Will the two EVER learn that it's more fun to play together?


Hank the goose is back to match wits with Cousin Frank, who's as sweet as pie...or is he? Everyone encourages Hank to be on his best behavior, but when Frank sneakily pulls a prank and Hank gets blamed, it's game on! The two try to one-up each other, with hilarious consequences.

Children will giggle at Hank and Frank's silly antics and will love watching their hilarious pranks unfold, while grown-ups will appreciate the themes of friendship and being considerate of others.
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 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.
