I liked the story but was not happy that kitty was bribed with her favorites in order to mind. The Grandbabes enjoyed the story, bright pictures and was glad to have it 'read' to them even if Nonnie could not do it. Thankfully kitty then apologized to grandma…cleaned her cat box…and all was well. So her owner went to the grocery store and bought her anchovies… buffalo burrito…chicken Cheesecake. Kitty…Ate the homework…Bit Grandma…Clawed the curtains…Damaged the dishes…BAD KITTY! It was hard when kitty was told that her favorite foods were all gone and that all that was available was asparagus and beets and cauliflower and dill and lots and lots of other vegetables kitty did not like. It sure did save me since I was really down and out last night. She is willing to read for your babes too! How? Well she is on CD reading Bad Kitty by Nick Bruel. Thank goodness Vanessa Williams agreed to read for us. Sadly I am nursing a bad cold so reading is out for me. Here is the bedtime story from last night. Recommended to all young cat lovers, and to anyone looking for alphabet books with a story attached to them. The artwork is a little more cartoon-like in style than I care for - it felt a little flat to me, to be honest - but it works well with the story. I enjoyed this story of one kitty's vacillation between good and bad behavior, and think it will make for a uniquely entertaining alphabet book.

Now determined to reform, kitty engages in an A-Z list of good behaviors, until another turn of events - the introduction of a new puppy companion - leads to another (possible) change of heart.Īs a girl I simply loved Jack Gantos's Rotten Ralph books, about one very badly-behaved feline who was constantly up to no good, so Nick Bruel's Bad Kitty felt like familiar territory to me.

Very, very bad! An A-Z list of veggies is followed by an A-Z list of bad behaviors the kitty gets up to, until someone finally arrives with the proper food for our feline heroine. When her family runs out of cat food, and attempts to feed her healthy vegetables instead, a good kitty goes bad.
