Sometimes I'm Bombaloo

(4) PS Illustrated by Yumi Heo. When a normally well-behaved girl has a destructive fit of rage, she thinks of herself as Bombaloo instead of Katie. Although her behavior is extreme, some young readers may be able to relate to Katie's hateful and violent feelings, which are reflected in the vigorous, stylized, whirling artwork. However, the author's attempt to portray the girl's angry voice results in a choppy text.
