My nephew died laughing at this book and it might be one of his new favorites. A brother goes to a magic show where a hypnotist hypnotizes a woman to act like a chicken. The brother goes home and makes a machine to hypnotize his sister. He tells her she is a dog and this is where the trouble starts. It’s fun at first and then the brother doesn’t know how to make his sister a girl again.

The nephew wants to build this machine and hypnotize us all. The wheels in his head were working. He said he’ll turn me into a squirrel. I asked him why and he said, “So the dog can chase you.” He laughed at the story and wanted to know if hypnotism was real. He gets these ideas in his head. He gave it 5 stars.

The niece thought there were funny parts in it. She said that her brother could never hypnotize her. She wasn’t worried. She gave this 4 stars.
