School Library Journal Review

Gr 2-4-Katie Kazoo is a third grader whose life changed when she wished on a shooting star to be anyone but herself. Now, whenever the magic wind that only Katie can see storms around her, it turns Katie into someone else. In Oh, Baby! (Grosset, pap. 2003), Katie's best friend Suzanne complains that she is treated like her baby sister Heather when their parents refuse to allow them to go see the new movie, Tornado. Soon, the magic wind arrives, and Katie inhabits Heather's body. When Heather-Katie begins talking, Suzanne thinks that the baby is a genius. In Book 4, Girls Don't Have Cooties (Grosset, pap. 2002), the girls decide to have a party without the boys. The boys declare that the girls have cooties, setting off a war between the two groups. This time Katie inhabits her best friend Jeremy's body, but it isn't until her dog disappears that the two become friends again. Veteran actress Anne Bobby aptly captures all of the fresh-faced, self-centered attitudes of these youngsters, while infusing the right amount of caring and hope into their personalities. A good addition to collections where Katie Kazoo is in demand.-Veronica Schwartz, Des Plaines Public Library, IL (c) Copyright 2010.
