Hank the Shark

Here is a video of a song that has been made into a children's book - Hank the Wrestling Shark. The author is a friend of mine - Gerry Paul - he is a musician who has travelled around the world for the past twelve years playing in several bands including Grada and Two Oceans Trio.

A very accomplished musician - this is his first time writing a book.

You cant see the book as yet - it isnt released until our own book week. However, we can listen to this song and we will have the book in later in the term. Hopefully Gerry might come in to talk to us as well to explain how he came to write this book.

Books can come in all shapes and sizes, for all ages and interests - Lets see if kakapo kids can list all of their favourite books in the comments section of this post....

Happy pre book week weekend....
