About This Book

A parent might reach for this book when their child is feeling anxious about school rules, making friends, or fitting in. It's a fantastic tool for normalizing the frustration that can come with new social and academic expectations. The story follows the outrageously naughty Kitty, who, after a particularly destructive tantrum, is forced to attend obedience school with the ever-enthusiastic Puppy. Through Nick Bruel's signature blend of comic panels, zany text, and hilarious asides, the book explores themes of anger, impulse control, and the rocky road to friendship. Its chaotic humor and high-energy format are perfect for reluctant readers or any child aged 6-9 who needs to see that feeling frustrated with rules is normal, and that even the 'baddest' among us can learn and find a friend.

What Parents Should Know

Moral AmbiguityMild

The protagonist's bad behavior is the primary source of humor. The story does not strongly condemn it.

Sensitive Topics

This book does not contain sensitive topics. All conflict is behavioral, comedic, and resolved in a lighthearted, secular manner. The resolution is hopeful and humorous, focused on slight behavioral improvement and budding friendship rather than a heavy moral lesson.
