Will Hank's school photo be another disaster on his parents' shelf of shame? The latest novelization of the TV series based on the best-selling books by Henry Winkler and Lin Oliver. As seen on Universal Kids! Hank hates school photos. Something always goes wrong just before the FLASH — a spider lands on his nose, he bends down to tie his shoe, or his "smart-guy" pose ends up looking like a "nose-picker" shot.
