Like any katydid, Katy loves to hop through the garden. Her hopping lands Katy into trouble, however, when she scatters a bee’s pollen and ruins a spider’s web. To make matters worse, her little brother Lou follows behind her shouting “Katy did it! Katy did it!” It seems that Katy can do nothing right. Then she meets some ants, who have troubles of their own. Will a hopping katydid save the day?
Reviews
"This bright, bouncy story will be a favorite with youngsters."
—School Library Journal
Lorianne Siomades' Katy Did It! was reviewed in the March 1, 2009 issue of School Library Journal:
"Digitally created jewel-tone illustrations are airy and uncluttered against a pure white background. Shadows on the white space as [Katy] makes her highest hop above the anthill give a spread a wonderfully three-dimensional appearance. Sound effects mimic Katy’s hops, ever advancing the story, and the insect’s simplified face with round, googly eyes is especially expressive. This bright, bouncy story will be a favorite with youngsters."The May 15, 2009 issue of Booklist features a review of Lorianne Siomades' Katy Did It!
“[S]triking graphic design. Kids will love the goggle-eyed bugs and the irresistible pictures. Great potential for story times with sound effects and large pages.”
