Bad Kitty Goes to the Vet

A parent should reach for this book when their child is feeling anxious about an upcoming doctor's visit or another new, potentially intimidating experience. The story follows the hilariously grumpy Bad Kitty on her unwilling trip to the veterinarian. It uses over-the-top humor and a fast-paced graphic novel format to explore and validate common childhood fears, showing that it's okay to be scared but that we can face our worries and come out the other side. For kids ages 6 to 9, this book is a fantastic tool for normalizing anxiety. It cleverly blends pure entertainment with genuinely useful information about what doctors (and vets) do, making the unknown feel much more manageable.
