Katie Kazoo Switcheroo – Going Batty by Nancy Krulik, illustrated by John & Wendy
My daughter read this book last year. I read it before her and was fine with the subject matter (school/learning oriented, as well as factual). Katie is plagued by wishes. “And that night, Katie wished she could be anyone but herself. There must have been a shooting star flying overhead when Katie made her wish, because the very next day the magic wind came. . . . But the worst part came ofter the wind stopped blowing. That’s when the magic wind turned Katie into someone else. One. . . two . . . switcheroo!”
And so is the theme for all the Katie Kazoo books. In this book, Going Batty, can you guess what she turns into? Her class is studying nocturnal animals and they are on a class trip to the zoo. The reader and Katie learn more about nocturnal animals than they ever thought possible.
The story is well written and very enjoyable to read. Fortunately, it’s a series (http://www.katiekazoo.com)
