Children’s Book “My Dog Hank” Tells a Family Dog Story Through a Kid’s Eyes

Balle Balle Radio™ Entertainment Desk

Jason Grove has published a new children’s book, "My Dog Hank," told from the perspective of a child narrating life with the family dog. The book is out now through Christian Faith Publishing.

The story is narrated by Hank’s young owner, who describes a dog that’s "always up to something" and who has become central to the family’s daily life, according to the book’s description. The narrator reflects that Hank sometimes causes disagreements between Mommy and Daddy, but has been part of the family for as long as the child can remember, concluding that everybody should have a dog like him.

Drawing on his background as a family storyteller, Grove crafted this narrative based on years of entertaining his own children. "I wanted to share the adventures that make our family life so vibrant and entertaining," Grove said in a statement. "Hank isn’t just a pet; he’s a character in our everyday story, and I’m thrilled to introduce him to readers everywhere."

The book is categorized as juvenile fiction and centers on themes of companionship and family dynamics as seen through a child’s point of view. Readers can find the book at major retailers including Amazon, Google Play, and Barnes & Noble, plus direct from Christian Faith Publishing.

For Studio CarryOnHarry, the appeal of a story like this one is in the voice: a dog book narrated by a kid rather than about one tends to land differently with young readers, and that’s the detail worth watching for in how it’s received.
