A review by jbuck1975
Day of the Iguana by Henry Winkler, Lin Oliver
4.0
This was an audio book we listened to a few weeks ago. When I borrowed it from the library I had no idea that it was part of a series that had so many books, it just looked like something my children would enjoy. There are 17 books in the series and they all look like they would be fun to read.
In this one Hank is trying to do an experiment with the family cable box, but his sister's iguana has other plans. Hank just can't seem to get anything right and has a falling out with his best friend for failing to tape the right channel for a program he promised they could watch. I think so many times in children's books if the characters work hard enough it works out, but this was more realistic, because even though he was working hard things still weren't working out. Eventually of course they do, but it was nice to see a struggle to put things right and needed to come up with a new idea and a new plan when the first one or two or three didn't work.
There was enough humor in this book to have my children laugh out loud and it was nice that Henry Winkler is the one reading the audio version.
