When Kate doesn’t get her way she likes to pout, kick, scream, and shout. She loves to be roodle (she’s no goodle-two-shoodles). And she’s got lots of help there, because inside her head is the Noise-amatron, the nonsense machine that makes all of her wailing and other naughty noises. And there are lots of Noise-a-matron workers— Noolman, Tubswort & Co.—who make sure her misbehavior machine is always going full blast. But suddenly, Kate’s parents order her to BE QUIET! Now what? Come on inside for a jabberwocky journey from noise-some to joysome in this phantasmagoric circus of a book.
