Plot
Henry Wiggins (voiced by Samantha Reynolds) is the third youngest (or third oldest, depending on how one looks at it) of five children (himself, two brothers and two sisters). When he was just five years old, Henry discovered that eating his mother's mushy carrots gave him the ability to make wishes come true. Once eaten, Henry can make one wish come true. However, being only eight years old, his unusual wishes are often played out with unexpected consequences and his insatiable curiosity invariably spells disaster, but Henry also learns some of life's lessons along the way.Henry shares his secret and misadventures with best friend Fraidy Begonia (voiced by Tracey Moore), his faithful pet dog Margaret and Doris, a dragon who lives in Henry's closet (Note that Doris only appeared during the first season). Other characters in the show include Henry's smart Uncle Neptune, Ms. Pierre, Henry's teacher and the anti-hero Darwin (voiced by Julie Lemieux), an overweight bully who sometimes teases and picks on Henry.
