(4) K-3 Inspired by the magician he sees on his birthday, Calvin hypnotizes his little sister, making her believe she's a dog. When he can't remember the word to end the spell, he must find a way to restore her before Mama gets home. Beautiful sepia-soaked spreads in Van Allsburg's signature style don't make up for desultory prose and the bland twist at the end.
Reviewer: Claire E. Gross
