HYPNOSIS HARRY

A wildly funny, sweetly silly look at the real meaning of the word no — and learning to be careful what you wish for.

No pajamas at the park. No toys in the toaster. Harry’s parents say no to everything! Until Harry learns about hypnosis… With a little practice and Grandpa’s watch Harry puts his parents in a trance and gets to work on a future full of yes. Comic books by the crate, night-vision goggles for his teddy bear, a pet monkey (or two)—no request is too big or too bizarre. Harry loves his new freedom and, not to mention, all that bacon. So what if his robot goes rogue and playmates are hard to find? But when things start to go wrong, Harry begins to wonder if he really wants his every wish granted. This charming romp will delight little readers as Harry answers the delicious question: what would you do if you could do anything? And each read reveals clever new details, making this the perfect reread for parent and child. Catherin Bailey is the author of Mind Your Monsters (Sterling).
