Book Description:

Join Katelyn on a wild and exciting ride through the imagination and back again! All the classic Arabian folk-tale elements tumble about as Katelyn saves the day and the teapot!

One morning, Katelyn decides to follow the ringing of the alarm clock down a dark hallway, through a door, and into a throne room with a very worried king. The king-???+-?-+s greatest treasure is about to be stolen by a man with a cackle (never a good sign), claiming to be the Grand Vizier of all the kingdom and holding Katelyn-???+-?-+s mom-???+-?-+s teapot! With a little cunning, she tricks the Vizier into a treasure chest and locks it tightly. Then Katelyn is off on her flying carpet-sized handkerchief. She whisks the teapot home just in time to make a great big pot for Mom and Dad-???+-?-+s breakfast in bed!

Kirkus Reviews
"The author of Trailer Park Princesses puts another magical spin on the everyday ... a real crowd-pleaser ..."

Today-???+-?-+s Librarian
The inventive illustrations are the real star of the story.

Canadian Materials
"... a nice read aloud choice for older storytimes and classroom use. Recommended."

Canadian Book Review Annual
"... an enchanting book in more ways than one. The plot is a clever take on an old story ... the writing is lyrical and words are used in highly original ways ... the illustrations perfectly match the text - colorful, slightly abstract, almost askew in their offbeat tone ... a wonderful read-aloud story ... highly recommended."
