So, Katie Kazoo once wished for something and then the magic wind blows around her and switch her into someone (or something) else.
In this story, Katie switched into a dentist!
It was all started when she saw her friend, Emma, brushes her teeth after lunch at school. She decided to bring her toothbrush to school, too. She doesn't want to have hole in her mouth. Soon they have a Pearly Whites Club.
One afternoon, on the way home from school, Katie talked about how scary the dentist is with George. They didn't realize that Emma's little brother was with them, and was listening to the conversation. Later on, Matthew refused to go to the dentist, and Katie feels guilty and wanted to make up for it.
She rushed to Emma's house, to assure Matthew that dentists are OK, and she was only joking around with George. But when she get there, they already left to the dentist. When Katie was thinking what should she do, the magic wind came and blows hard around her.
Katie knows she is switched into someone else again. She wishes she doesn't turn into Matthew. Imagine having her teeth drilled made Katie shudder.
But it turns out, that she's turning into the dentist! What would happen in the examination room? Hilarious!
An easy chapter book, suitable for grade 3 students.

I really liked this book because Matthew has an appointment to go the dentist, but the magic wind turns Katie into Dr. Sang. And she got Dr. Sang into trouble because she was trying to clean out Matthew's mouth because it had a piece of bubblegum stuck to his tooth and she sprayed inside his mouth, but then Matthew sprayed inside her mouth! Then she accidentally stepped on the pedal that made the chair go up. It was CRAZY and Matthew flew out of the chair. I thought it was funny how Katie got Dr. Sang into real trouble!

I think that this book is really funny just like all the other Katie Kazoo Switcheroo books. I remember when I was younger, I would always be scared of the dentist just like Matthew is. But I would never do the other thing he does (I can't tell you or it will be a story spoiler)!
