A kitty gets bad food and so she has bad behaviors. When she gets good food she has good behavior.

Readers LOVE Bad Kitty. He is like a 21st Century Garfield. Stubborn, wants his way.....and by golly, he is a mess when it comes to food.

I will be doing this book for My First Books. It might not translate virtually (due to its length and I cannot emphasize the humor as much). It is also a bit long. Doing the alphabet four times is a bit redundant (and yes repetition is important).

Still, I love the fun twists the alphabet is presented. (

I work in a public library and initially picked up this book because I thought someone truly had taken a bite out of it! Once I realized it was a cleverly designed book with the beloved Bad Kitty, I simply had to read it. I was delighted! It's a wonderfully humorous way to explore the alphabet with youngsters. (

A most hilarious alphabet book with a kitty who goes bad due to vegetables and healthy food. Her subsequent terrorism pays off with capitulation that includes a donkey named Dave and an offering of human sacrifice!

Twisted and laugh out loud funny! (
