Always be a first rate version of yourself...: Katie Kazoo

What's Going On Here?

There are SO MANY wonderful book review blogs out there and I can't compete with them, that is for sure. So this is not a book review blog. This is just a way for me to organize what I have read so that I can be better at matching the right book to the right person. The blog title comes from the brilliant mind of the most talented woman who ever lived, Ms. Judy Garland. The full quote is, "Always be a first-rate version of yourself, instead of a second-rate version of someone else." That is what I hope to do here and in ever aspect of my life.

Super Burp!

Super Burp! is the first book in the George Brown, Class Clown series by Nancy Krulik who wrote a series I love Katie Kazoo, Switcheroo! George was in Katie's class, I remember him! He was one of the guys in the two-guy battle to see who told the best jokes. He is also the guy who gave Katie her nickname. He and his family moved and in this first book, he is making his way trying to find where he fits in his new school. Excellent for reluctant readers and just a lot of fun. Plus, George is a nice guy!

Three More Kazoos

Friends for Never, Love Stinks, and Bad Rap were three solid additions to the Katie Kazoo series. I can't seem to get tired of these and at least by #16 (Bad Rap), Krulik doesn't seem to be tired of writing them, either. I was especially despondent when reading Love Stinks and so it came at a good time!

More of Katie

No Messin' with My Lesson is the eleventh book in the series and I am STILL not bored. And I don't see them as losing their magic yet! At least for me!

Hooked on Katie Kazoo!

Katie Kazoo has been a very popular series for awhile now! I had never gotten around to reading one of them, but I needed a quick book to listen to and I want to find more books that I can personally recommend and so the library had Anyone But Me and Out to Lunch on the same download. I was hooked! No wonder so many kids like her! She is nice and kind, yes, the books are a little heavy-handed with messages, but these books were so good that as soon as I finished them I download Oh, Baby! and Girls Don't Have Cooties. They were awesome! So then I downloaded I Hate Rules, Get Lost! I loved them and now I am listening to Drat! You Copycat and Doggone It! and...you guessed it, they are awesome!
Just finished DYC and DI. Funny series, and Katie is a good friend!
Getting a little obsessed, but they are such quick and fun reads and still fresh. Finished Any Way You Slice It and Quiet on the Set. Still awesome. Not tired of them yet!
