 #1: The Emerald Isle Adventure
The book opens late in October, Katie is getting ready for school, thinking about the postcard her grandma recently sent - announcing a package on its way. Katie enters a typical day, and the reader is introduced to her mom, and her friends. Katie goes to school and learns that her poem (about having a little brother) has won the contest for the 4th grade.
She and her friends discuss their plans for a big Halloween party
and a slumber party (Katie's first). In all the excitement -
Katie rushes home forgetting to check the mail for packages.
Her mom makes her favorite dinner (spaghetti) to celebrate the
big day. Katie remembers that she forgot to get the mail and races
downstairs to find that her package has arrived.
The story takes off when, as a result of the magic soap, Katie's bathtub is transformed into the Irish countryside and she is greeted by a leprechaun named Finnegan (Finny).
#2: The Amazon Adventure
As Katie nervously stands in front of the entire school, reading her award winning poem, The Little Brother, she has no idea that she’ll soon be off on another adventure with a toucan named Toco. But not to worry, a lot happens to Katie before she takes off to beautiful Brazil.
