Customer Reviews

One of our favorites

The "Katie Kazoo" series is about an elementary age girl who received a granting of her wish to be someone else. In each book in this series she experiences (temporarily) a change into someone else, and during the period of change she usually creates a conflict that she has to work to resolve after she turns into Katie again. My daughters (similar in age to Katie) love these books and usually consume them in a single day (or a single sitting). The conflict is low-grade and typically funny or light-hearted. "Any Way You Slice It" is about Katie turning into a chef at a pizza restaurant. This is a problem because the real chef's skills are needed to help the place get through a tough time - but Katie's experimentation in the kitchen leads to a culinary discovery. There's your plot. One of our favorites in the series.

fun to read with your 2nd - 3rd grade girls

I owned most of the Katie Carew (Katie Kazoo) books. It's so much fun to read for me and for my daughter.
