Hypnosis Harry is a wildly funny, sweetly silly look about the real meaning of the word no. Children will delight as little Harry answers the delicious question: What would you do if you could do anything?
No pajamas at the park. No toys in the toaster. Harry’s parents say no to everything! That is, until Harry learns about hypnosis. With a little practice, and Grandpa’s watch, harry puts his parents in a trance and envisions a future full of fun and yeses!
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, not to mention all that bacon. So what if his robot goes rogue and playmates are hard to find. But when his ninja moves result in a playground pile-up, Harry starts to wonder if he really wants his every wish granted.
Our thoughts:
My boys have really enjoyed reading this book, and can totally relate to wishing that they never had to hear the word no. Haven’t we all daydreamed about just how awesome it would be to always be told yes? I love that at the end of this book, Harry realizes that being able to do anything he wants, isn’t as great as he thought it would be. When he has an accident on the playground and gets hurt. The other kids parents are hugging their children, and Harry’s didn’t hug him. That’s when he decided that maybe…just maybe…having rules aren’t so bad after all.
