  <default_description>Are You a Believer in Fanciful Things? In Pirates and Dragons and Creatures and Kings? &lt;p&gt; Then sit yourself down in a comfortable seat, with maybe some cocoa and something to eat, and I&#8217;ll spin you the tale of Katrina Katrell, a girl full of courage (and daring, as well!), who down in the subway, under the ground, saw something fantastical roaming around . . .&lt;p&gt; What was it she saw? I&#8217;d rather not say. (Who&#8217;s ever heard of a Zorgle, anyway?)&lt;p&gt; But if you are curious, clever and brave, if intrepid adventure is something you crave, then open this book and I&#8217;ll leave it to you to uncover the secret of ZORGAMAZOO!&lt;p&gt; Join Morty the Zorgle and Katrina on a fantastically illustrated, &lt;i&gt;you&#8217;ll-wanna-read-every-word-aloud&lt;/i&gt;, sophisticated rhyming adventure for kids of all ages!</default_description>

    <body><![CDATA[I don't usually like rhyming novels, generally because the author isn't able to pull it off. Zorgamazoo told in over 200 pages of rhyming verse, which worried me when I first started reading it, but Robert Weston defied my expectations and pulled it off beautifully. <br/><br/>The tale is mainly ab...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/53310171">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[A clear descendant of Dr. Seuss and Shel Silverstein, here's a novel told entirely in rhyming verse.  While the rhythm is fun and the wordplay good--and I'll probably be using it for readalouds and recommending it--the form seems to dampen things like character development and growth.  A fun tale, b...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/54881060">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[probably a 3 and 3/4. Wow. A 281 page fantasy book told all in rhyming couplets-- a bit Dr. Seuss-like, but for older kids. Clever, with great illustrations and creative use of fonts. Would make a great read-aloud. There's a quest, adventure, danger, creepy villains, all kinds of fantastical creatur...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/53128301">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[It's a 280 page book all in rhyme with great vocabulary.  And, yes, the rhyming did get somewhat tiring, but still had fun with it. An adventurous girl meets a more cautious Zorgle and they save the world from Tedium Steam. And, yes, it could be called Seussical with snippets of Snicket.  ]]></body>
