Loading... Zorgamazooby Robert Paul Weston
Interesting fantastic adventure story -- told all in rhyme.. I'm thinking this could be a great Grade 2 read-aloud when they are studying explorers -- as well as poetry. (  ) katie | Apr 7, 2013 |  Katrina Katrell suffers under the spiteful eye of her guardian Mrs. Krabone. When Krabby decides to get Katrina a lobotomy to get rid of her wild imagination, she runs away. She find Mortimer Yorgle, who is (unwillingly) on a quest to save the Yorgles of Zorgamazoo who have mysteriously vanished. They team up and have many fun adventures. This book is written entirely in rhyme—reminiscent of Dr. Seuss. It’s the kind of book that really ought to be read aloud. I was lucky enough to get it in audiobook form, which was VERY well read. Some of the rhymes were rather clever, and the book was lighthearted and silly. Very enjoyable! (  ) The_Hibernator | May 1, 2012 | An amazing and wonderful tale told entirely in verse. Reminds me of Dr. Seuss, but is still entirely original. (  ) BrynDahlquis | Dec 20, 2011 | Katrina Katrell lives with her guardians as her parents are always away. She yearns for a family. When Krabone plots to scramble her brain, Katrina runs off and finds her way underground where she meets a Zorgle named Morty. He's been chosen to find the missing Zorgles of Zorgamazoo. Together they embark on a wild adventure. The entire book is Seussian verse. I found it a bit tiring, but imagine it would be great fun to read aloud. Wonderfully imagined. ( ) oapostrophe | Jan 23, 2011 | The back of the book describes this as a combination of Dr.Seuss and Roald Dahl, and that really captures it entirely! This is a very fun book (especially for reading aloud) about a girl with an active imagination and a thirst for adventure. Unfortunately, she has a guardian who is a stick in the mud and is always trying to get her to sit still and to not talk so much! one day Katrina sees a beast while riding the subway, and later finds out its a creature called a Zorgle who is on a quest to find all the missing Zorgles from Zorgamazoo! This is a wonderful story told entirely in rhyme (for that reason I think it's best for younger kids or read alouds) ( ) jfoster_sf | Dec 21, 2010 | no reviews | add a review
