DESCRIPTION:
. " 'You'll never believe what happened to me today,' " says Harry to his father. --John Peters, New York Public LibraryCopyright 1990 Reed Business Information, Inc. Readers may be teased into belief by Ancona's inventive trick photographs of the flight. The stubby red helicopter stands out against green lawns and sunny blue skies; often the camera looks over Harry's shoulder, sharing his bird's-eye view through the slightly ragged windows. A happy, cleverly illustrated wish-fulfillment story. Anderson's engaging text, printed in comfortably large type, goes beyond mere picture captions; it slants up when Harry takes off, down as he learns the controls, and smoothly and simply adds details of action and feeling to link the photos seamlessly together. From Schoo
