About This Book
When would a parent reach for this book? For a child experiencing a new bout of fears, whether it's the dark, loud noises, or Halloween spookiness. In this hilarious installment, the perpetually grumpy Bad Kitty is revealed to be a scaredy-cat, afraid of an alphabetical list of things from Aunties to Zombies. Using Nick Bruel's signature comic-style art and sharp wit, the book validates a child's feelings of fear while keeping the tone light and funny. It's a perfect choice for the 4-8 age range because it normalizes anxiety through humor, showing that even the toughest characters get scared and that bravery can be found when you really, really want some candy.
