(3) K-3 Troll Timothy Limpet is a well-mannered sweetie; human child Tabitha Lumpit is a nose-picking brat. They wonder: why not switch places? Part of this book's humor lies in the fact that at first neither Timothy's nor Tabitha's families notice the switcheroo, although the families eventually lament each kid's incongruous behavior. The be-yourself message comes via punchy mixed-media illustrations and playful font.
