About This Book
In 'Bad Kitty Meets the Baby,' Nick Bruel delivers a laugh-out-loud graphic novel about a cat's dramatic reaction to a new infant in the household. Kitty initially views the baby as an unwelcome intruder, leading to classic sibling rivalry themes explored through exaggerated humor, a 'Kitty game show,' and even the 'Kitty Olympics.' Parents will appreciate how the book normalizes feelings of jealousy and displacement that can arise with a new sibling, all while providing pure entertainment. The story, filled with Bruel's distinctive illustrations and 'Uncle Murray Fun Facts,' offers a lighthearted way to discuss family changes and the eventual acceptance of new members. It's suitable for ages 4-11, working well as a read-aloud for younger children and an engaging independent read for elementary students.
