This alphabet book uses the abcs multiple times to show what the kitty doesn't like to eat when the family runs out of cat food, what bad things she does, and what she does like to eat as well as her acts of restitution, once she gets the food she likes.
Bad Kitty is an ABC book that lists all of the gross food kitty doesn't want to eat, all of the ways he is bad to get back at his owners, all of the good food he is given, and all of the nice things he does to thank them. This book is reinforces the ABC's by including fur different ABC lists with very different content so that kids are exposed to the alphabet and words that they may not have realized started with certain letters. I like this book because it is so long and takes it's time getting through each list, not rushing through but providing a full sentence sometimes for each letter. Some of the concepts that Bad Kitty does don't always make sense to my pre-schoolers though, and I often have to explain certain vocab or actions as we read. Therefore the book is time consuming and I kno requires a lot of attention.
When her family runs out of cat food, and attempts to feed her healthy vegetables instead, a good kitty goes bad. 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. 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...As 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. 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. 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. Recommended to all young cat lovers, and to anyone looking for alphabet books with a story attached to them.
I love the way this book uses the alphabet to tell the story. The kitty was not always a bad cat but when there is only healthy food left he becomes one. The book uses the abc's to show different veggies and fruits, as well as all the bad and good things the kitty did. I think it was a very cute book that would be good for teaching young readers. In the end, the kitty shows why cats are the best :)
I love Bad Kitty. It's a very amusing series for both children and adults.
LOVED this book! I really like how the author manages to find something food-like for each letter twice! It is a really good teaching book for the alphabet and could be used as an opener to an activity where my students would draw a topic and then with each letter of the alphabet, come up with a word corresponding to their topic, just how Bruel has done in this book. Very creative!
This is a very cute way to tell a story using the alphabet. The kitty is such a great charater that the illustrator/author describe in a creative way.
This is a really fun alphabet book that delves into the mood swings of a very reactionary cat, ha ha. I guess the "good for kitty" food part didn't make much sense. I'm sure that was part of its intended charm, though!
Kitty gets in a bad mood when the family doesn't have any food left to feed it. But soon the owner brings her delicious food and she is happy again until a new puppy comes and the owner suggests Kitty shares its food...The food is HYSTERICAL! Yes, I'm an adult lauding over a children's book. The illustrator is a genius. The alphabetical principals are a great review. Loved this book!
A bright colorful picture book. One that teaches and reviews basic letters. I like the book because of the comicbook style layout. I also appreciate the choice of words used for each letter of the alphabet. Each word is not the generic, like A is for Apple. This books shows true imagination. This book could be used to start lessons on teaching the alphabet and the alphabetic principle. Students could create their own list of things that start with each letter of the alphabet and create an individual story, or a class story. The connection to class activities is endless. I do feel it is specifically aged for younger students. I would not use it for my older students, though I'm sure if I put more thought into it I could.
I enjoyed this book but it seemed a little long for the novice ABC'er. As I read this to my daughter, she got distracted with other things happening and I also did as well. Great drawings of the kitty but just a little too long. I give it 3 happy stars.
This was such an adorable read. The A to Z format of the book would definitely capture the attention of young readers and Bad Kitty is such a funny character. She reminds me so much of my bad kitty, I truly enjoyed reading it. My cat would (and has) torture me for running out of his favorite foods and only having the A-Z nasty" things to eat. The difference is my cat wouldn't do the A-Zs of apologizing for his bad behavior. He'd figure I had gotten what I deserved."
Super funny, slightly challenging read for my first grader...Terrific!!
Ah ha ha ha ha ha ha ha.... LSHIFOMC!
I love cats so I was drawn to this book because of the cute kitty on the front. It turned out to be a super cute book about a cat in an alphabetical search of food and mischief. I see this mostly as just an anytime classroom reading book for young kids, but it could also be in an alphabet unit, obviously.
A good kitty goes bad through the alphabet when her favorite treats are gone. What regret she has when it shows up in the shopping bag.Children's ABC bookI like this book a lot. It's ingenious the bad things the cat comes up with. Really super funny and in my opinion a little gross. I like it.This was a lot of fun to read to my First Graders. It illicitated more than a couple "oohs" or "UGGS." I really prefer to the "Fast Tracks" ABC reding we do. It has way more personality.
An alphabet book about a mischievous kitty who misbehaves when found out that her favorite food is gone. It is a humorous book which is a lot of fun to read.
Absolutely awesome children's book. I was very surprised by the advanced vocabulary used in this book.
Great alphabet book. Introduces some difficult and interesting words that some little ones just love. Use of humor will keep 'em coming back to see the different variations of the kitty alphabet.
"Best part was when she poured the bucket of purple paint on the new dog." - Y, age 4
"It was very funny when she heard them say they don't have anymore cat food!" - AB, age 6

its a funny story she keeps changing good to bad kitty
What is the worst thing your kitty ever did? This bad Kitty creates all kinds of havoc when the family runs out of kitty food and they feed it healthy people food like Asparagus, Beets, Cauliflower, and Dill. This quadruple ABC book invites children to explore fun, sophisticated words in a semi-comic book format. After learning in ABC order the food Kitty did not like, Kitty took revenge when it “Ate my homework, Bit Grandma, Clawed the curtains, and Damaged the dishes.” But when the family returns from the grocery store with “an Assortment of Anchovies, Buffalo Burritos, Chicken Cheesecake, and a Donkey named Dave,” Kitty redeemed itself when it “Apologized to Grandma, Bought me new toys, Cleaned her Cat box, and Drove me to school.” The illustrations are humorous and accompany the lyrical rhythm of the words charmingly. You can’t help but fall in love with the scrawny little cat and hope that there is a sequel. Imagine if the family adopted a dog! Highly recommended for children grades pre-K – 2.
My 5 yr old daughter loved this book. She couldn't believe how bad the kitty was when the kitty was not happy.
