Here is a story that's stranger than strange. Before we begin you may want to arrange: a blanket, a cushion, a comfortable seat, and maybe some cocoa and something to eat.
In Dr. Seuss fashion, this novel of imaginary beasts is told completely in rhyme. No easy task and amazingly successful, kids will gravitate toward this format. They will probably even read it out loud just to hear the sound of it. The story is of Katrina Katrell, who along with a self-proclaimed cowardly Zorgle named Morty, is on a quest to discover what has happened to the mysteriously disappeared Zorgles of Zorgamazoo. When they are kidnapped and taken to the moon by a Graylian trying to save those on his planet, Katrina and Morty discover where all the Zorgles are, along with griffins, ogres, sphinxes, and other supposed mythical creatures. This exciting adventure is recommended for kids in grades 2-5 and is an excellent read-aloud for those who cannot yet read.
