About This Book
Nick Bruel's 'Bad Kitty' is a hilarious picture book that introduces young readers to a housecat named Kitty who has a very bad day. When her owner presents her with a list of unappealing vegetables, Kitty responds with an alphabetical list of increasingly outrageous and destructive actions, from 'Ate my homework' to 'Zapped the zebra.' The book cleverly uses the alphabet to structure Kitty's escalating tantrum, making it both educational and wildly entertaining. It's a fantastic read-aloud for ages 3-7, perfect for sparking conversations about big feelings, picky eating, and the importance of apologies.
Uncle Murray takes Puppy on a walk on a day that Bad Kitty is being unusually difficult, but has several unpleasant encounters with a police officer and one mean dog along the way. Text is interspersed with information about dog behavior, pet care, and more.
