First sentence: Opening night had arrived...and Wildwood Elementary was preparing for the school play. There was still work to be done, and some of the students had a case of the OPENING NIGHT jitters. Luckily, Hattie Harmony: Worry Detective was ready to help.

Premise/plot: Hattie Harmony (Worry Detective) returns for her second picture book. In this one, she is helping behind the scenes everyone deal with anxiety and stage fright. She has helpful tips for the characters in the books. These tips can also prove helpful (perhaps) (at least in theory) to young readers.

My thoughts: I enjoyed both Hattie Harmony books. Hattie is a fun character with a catchy catchphrase. She is kind, helpful, understanding. The books might come across as slightly didactic, but, not in a horrible way. More like the "educational" and "informational" programs on television. Like I said, I personally enjoyed the book. ( )
