Reviews

[Medeia Sharif · Rating 4 out of 5]

This is a cute and short book about a girl's sloppy day in the kitchen. I thought the ending could be better, but I did appreciate the silliness. I'd like to read the rest of the series.

Katie tries to help her busy parents by cooking dinner, but only succeeds in making a mess.

I like that she models obedience and good sense by not turning on the stove unsupervised!

The second part of the story goes all Northanger abbey on us: "Wait, this is a ghost story? Where did that come from?" "Oh no. of course not. Just an overactive imagination."

I didn't really understand the jump between the cooking and the being afraid of ghosts. I think it was all for the joke of "a ghost did it" when talking about the cooking mess she made. But I still love Katie, and her good heart even though she made a mess.

A chapter book for the first-grade students at a level 1.3. She makes a mess while her mother is out of the house and frightens mom when she returns. Katie makes a big mess but does try to be helpful. A glossary in the back and a recipe.

This is my least favorite in this series. Katie makes a huge mess in the kitchen and we don't see any lesson taught about this.

LOVE and HIGHLY RECOMMEND this book. I consider it a "Beginning Reader-Beginning Chapter Book.". It even has discussion questions for those pain-in-the-ass overachievers (kidding)

I like this Katie Woo book because she got so messy in the kitchen and yet her mom didn’t get mad at her. She was very cool about it.

[Rhyme Owens · Rating 4 out of 5]

My favorite part was when Katie put bandages on almost her whole body--how silly!

[Rebecca Millerjohn · Rating 4 out of 5]

Katie Woo is an Asian American little girl who has lots of silly adventures including ballet dancing and playing musical instruments. She also has an African American friend named JoJo who features prominently in most of the books. Great early reader! (level 2?)

[Christie Rice · Rating 5 out of 5]

Great book for a beginning reader because of the vocabulary and the chapters in it. This book also includes discussion questions, writing prompts, and recipes in the back of the book!

[Megan · Rating 5 out of 5]

My new favorite beginning reader. ( well almost Elephant & Piggy still can't be beat)

[Gail · Rating 2 out of 5]

Again, good for K and up kids who are learning to read.

[Jiya · Rating 4 out of 5]

The most funny part is when she picked up the train conductor but she was suppose to pick up the music conductor.
