Hank Zipzer and Henry Winkler

Print

Dear Readers,

Your parents and even your grandparents are certain to

know the name Fonzie from the TV sitcom Happy Days

which was popular during the 1970s.  Fonzie was the character

who drove the motorcycle, wore the leather jacket and was

so, so cool!

This is what Fonzie looked like then.  His real name is

Henry Winkler.  Many years later, Henry Winkler has

become a popular children's book author.  Maybe you know

about the series books of Hank Zipzer, but do you

know that Mr. Winkler wrote these books about a 4th grader

who has a learning disability - dyslexia - because he himself

has a learning disability?    Hank is known as the "World's

Greatest Underachiever" and kids like you really like Hank.

Paige Turner!
