"Bad Kitty by Nick Bruel is very funny. Someone's kitty gets upset when there is only "healthy and delicious" food in the house. No Cat food. The alphabetical listing of these wonderful foods is fun and then the alphabetical list of the bad things the kitty does are hilarious. When the cat owner goes shopping and we hear about the alphabetical list of "weird" food that Kitty likes we are amazed. Then there is an alphabetical listing of all the good and repentive behavior that Kitty exhibits. 4 times we get to roll through the alphabet with Nick Bruel's wonderful imagination. It's very funny and I enjoyed reading it to my son. It reminded me of the kind of spoiled brat behavior we are all capable of if we don't get to eat what we want.....additionally, I learned a new word. XIGUA, which is a chinese watermelon pronounced :she-gwah. : )."

" Loved this! The details in the illustrations are great. "
— Casey, 2/20/2014 -
" Has got to be one of my daughters all time favorite books, I have read it so many times I can rattle the entire book off without looking at it. Can bad kitty ever get redemption? "
— Chantelle, 2/16/2014 -
" This is the very first book which is very interesting! You should read all of them, they are great! "
— Alexis, 2/15/2014 -
" Despite its silliness, the bad car behavior in this book is pretty accurate. "
— Ned, 2/14/2014 -
" Most hilarious children's story EVER! If you have a kid, or even if you just have a cat and no kid, you must get this from the library. "
— Justine, 2/3/2014 -
" Andrew and I stumbled across this a year or so ago at a Scholastic book fair at his school, and bought it. It's truly hilarious and subversive. We ended up buying more copies for his cousins -- and his grandmother, who loves it. "
— Betsy, 1/22/2014 -
" Bad kitty used to be a good kitty...until there was no more kitty food left in the house! Takes the reader through the alphabet 4 times! "
— Emma, 1/20/2014 -
" What a bad kitty! My kids love this alphabet book "
— Melissa, 1/13/2014 -
" Absolutely loved Bruel's sarcastic and silly approach to the ABC book. Definitely a must read for PK-1st grade. "
— Marija, 1/2/2014 -
" This is a fun alphabet book. Although the foods kitty enjoys are not very appetizing: fried flies, lizard lasagne & insect ice cream. "
— Inspired, 12/28/2013 -
" Cute book! I really enjoyed the illustrations! Bad kitty's glare is pretty epic! (he could even give Kuzco a run for his money! XD haha!) "
— *Glamazon*, 12/27/2013 -
" I got tired of reading this book because my girls requested it over and over. I guess anything kitties do (since we have one) is delightful to them. Plus, seeing a kitty be naughty and then nice is funny to them. Add each thing he did in alphabetical order and you have a winner. (so they tell me) "
— Chrystal, 12/16/2013 -
" Absolutely awesome children's book. I was very surprised by the advanced vocabulary used in this book. "
— Wickedshizuku, 11/19/2013 -
" I liked this book because the story is great but I gained more than I expected from the title. I also liked this book because I would be good to use with letter recognition. "
— Satin, 11/7/2013 -
" One of my favorite alphabet books. It's so funny that kids probably won't even realize they're learning something too. :) "
— Christina, 11/2/2013 -
" This is the cutest kitten book I have ever read! "
— LaVenna, 10/15/2013 -

— Cori, 10/13/2013 -
" It is a bit long as far as ABC book go, but entertaining none the less. "
— Carole, 9/17/2013 -
" Cute way to review the alphabet. Bad kitty does all kind of bad things and than when bad kitty is sorry she does numerous things to show she is sorry. "
— Lacey, 4/7/2013 -
" The story of a silly kitty who decided to be "bad" when his owners run out of cat food. He makes all sorts of mischief, until they bring him food, and then he tries to make up for his mistakes. Cute illustrations and a story my kids love. It also sneaks in alphabet practice throughout the book. "
— Lisa, 3/27/2013 -
" A hilarious alphabet book that is fun for all ages. "
— Marlee, 1/18/2013 -
" What? Read it again? Ok. (sigh) "
— Juli, 1/9/2013 -
" When food runs out kitty turns bad...really bad. But when more is bought he tries to make amends until... "
— Carol, 12/5/2012 -
" A funny, silly book that manages to go through the alphabet several times. The hardcover book was designed to look like it's had two big bites taken out of it, presumably by the Bad Kitty. "
— Sheri, 11/7/2012 -
" This is another cute book. Maddy loves all the different colors while I crack up at this kitty's antics. "
— Danielle, 10/23/2012 -
" just as irritating as Poor Puppy. I'd give it less stars... but my toddler LOVES it. "
— Jenn, 9/25/2012 -
" We found this book randomly at the library, and the kids and I love it! We can't stop reading it... it is just one of those "A is for ****, B is for ****." type of books, but so funny and witty! We may have to buy it. "
— Kate, 7/3/2012 -
" This is one of my kids favorites!!! "
— Easonfamily9, 4/26/2012 -
" Bad kitty romps through an alphabet of mischief in this lively and highly original take on the usual "A is for apple" picture book. "
