Double Trouble in Walla Walla

  • Interest Level: Grade 2 - Grade 5
  • Reading Level: Grade 3

It was an ordinary Monday morning in Walla Walla—until Lulu walked up to her English teacher’s desk. “Mrs. Bell, I feel like a nit-wit. My homework is all higgledy-piggledy. Last night it was in tip-top shape, but not it’s a big mish-mash.” With those few words, things become not so ordinary after all, for it seems that Lulu has opened up a super-duper, helter-skelter WORD WARP. Luckily for Lulu and the rest of the English-speaking world, the school nurse has an idea about how to handle this hodge-podge of topsy-turvy chit-chat. Will it work? Zig-zag through the jibber-jabber and the yakety-yak to find out!

Reviews

The Horn Book Guide

“Lulu disrupts a day in Walla-Walla by speaking in ‘flip-flop chitter-chatter.’ Soon her teacher, the principal, and the school nurse are caught in this ‘wibble-wobble word warp,’ whose cure is as arbitrary and random as its onset. Slick-schtick pen and watercolor illustrations feature caricatures with pip-pop eyeballs and golly-wolly expressions, but the irritating text and ambiguous ending cinches this as one thunder-blunder.”
