Mail Harry to the Moon

by Robie H. Harris
Illustrated by Michael Emberley

The protagonist of Mail Harry to the Moon is not happy to give up being an only child - especially when his new baby brother eats his snacks, spits up, chews on his toys, and gets some of the best attention. Fed up, he suggests lots of ways to get rid of Harry - including mailing him to the moon. But when he wakes up one morning and can't find Harry, he's sure his little brother is on the moon and launches a rescue mission. This rambunctious and imaginative book offers a laugh-out-loud look at sibling rivalry. Michael Emberly's illustrations capture the trials of new big brothership perfectly, and I defy even the most serious child not to giggle. Mail Harry to the Moon would be a great shower gift for big brothers and sisters, to help ease the transition with warmth and humor.
