Bad Kitty Scaredy-Cat Read Free Books and Download eBooks
Kitty wasn't always such a scaredy-cat. She used to be brave and lionhearted and nervy. That is, until one late October day a group of terrifying monsters showed up on her doorstop and Kitty became VERY scared. Then she decided to take matters into her own paws.Bad Kitty is back in her first full-length picture book since A Bad Kitty Christmas (over 300,000 copies sold to date), just in time for another holiday! Now she's up against something scary, something creepy, something more frightening than Puppy's good moods: Halloween.

I found this at the library the other day and took it out for my kids - when we finally got around to reading it we had to keep it longer - the boys wanted to read it every night, take it to church, take it to school...Basically this is a quadruple alphabet book - it goes through alphabetical lists of the foods Kitty doesn't like, the myriad of ways in which she was bad, the foods her owner bought to placate her, and the many reparations Kitty then made for her badness.The illustrations are charming (I especially like the little fang kitty develops when she becomes bad), and the need to use the whole alphabet results in a broader vocabulary than is found in most children's books. It is wonderful for reading aloud (especially when the boys provide Kitty's sounds effects, e.g. "hack, hack!"), and the opportunities to point out someone else's outrageously bad behavior are very welcome to my pair of naughty small fry.I think this book could be enjoyed by kids of almost any age, as with "The Stinky Cheese Man," which I started to read to my eldest at age 2; kids can enjoy quite sophisticated humor given a little background information, and they really like being "in" on jokes and sharing knowing smiles. My 6-year-old is a beginning reader and can use it to sharpen his decoding skills while laughing out loud.The only reservation I have is that it does present as "yucky" several of the foods I try to feed my family...Still, I am adding it to my shopping cart today; as noted by other readers, it is a charming gift, and I really should pass one on to my brothers (for their kids, yeah, that's the ticket)...
Omigosh do we love Bad Kitty in our house! I have Bruel's other book, "Boing!", which was age-perfect for my son at the time (great book for the 2-3 yr old set). Now Bad Kitty is out and my son is now 4 1/2 and he had made us read it to him 3 times a night for the past 5 nights. So far, still fresh - even to the adults!I seriously can't believe I'm the first one to review this book - so I get to tell you to GO GET IT NOW, it's hilarious and sweet, it reinforces the alphabet ("Hey! That's a T, Mommy!") without being painfully 'educational' (read: boring), it's very inventive, but most of all: The illustrations are just wonderful.We love our Bad Kitty.
My daughter absolutely loves the Bad Kitty book. I've checked it out from our local library several times over the past few months since we discovered it, and thankfully, she got the book for Christmas. My aunt, knowing how much my daughter loves Bad Kitty, saw the Bad Kitty doll at a teacher conference and bought it immediately. My daughter opened it up at Christmas and was thrilled to have her own Bad Kitty. Bad Kitty now sleeps with her and goes just about everywhere with her.As I said in my the title, perfect for the Bad Kitty fan!
We love Bad Kitty! My daughter is such a big Bad Kitty fan, that we preordered this book and were absolutely delighted with it! The artwork is beautiful and the colors pop, and the characters and the story are so engaging. I also appreciated that it gives young readers such a great way to practice vocabulary and reading. I also love that Nick Bruel shows a wide diversity of people - from different abilities, different races, different appearances. Its a great reminder that the world is full of lots of different kinds of people, and for a biracial kid to see that is invaluable.It was a great way to talk about Halloween as well, and to talk about why it's so scary for pets. Also, Hurrah for Uncle Murray!My daughter, when asked what she loved about it said "BAD KITTY! And MONSTERS! It's amazing! Read it again!" Which is high praise indeed!
My 6yr old daughter and I both love Nick Bruel's Bad Kitty series. We have the first boxed set along with other books so naturally getting the plush was a must have. We got this for our daughter for Christmas and she was extremely excited and happy when she opened it up. It is made of great quality, nothing cheap about it. To this day May 01, 2016 it still looks as new as the first day my daughter received it and she plays and sleeps with it in bed. None of her fur has came out, or any holes rips or tears. Just an all around awesome product and must have for all Bad Kitty fans and even cat lovers. =)
So exciting to finally have a Bad Kitty Halloween book! The art work of all the different "monsters" is fantastic. I love what Bruel does with the alphabet too. Oh and my 6 year old finds it hilarious too!
This is one of the books you know that your child will cherish for a long time. I bought our copy on a whim through a school program for my three year old. When first glancing at it I thought, wow, this might be too involved for him. I decided to give it a try, thinking if he didn't like it now, maybe he will in a year or two.It goes through every letter of the alphabet a few times and with each cycle there is a new and very silly sentence and picture for every letter. My three year old enjoyed this so much, that even now approaching four it is still a nighttime favorite. It helped with memory, letter sounds and letter recognition. He loves showing off the book to family members and the fact that he can "read" it on his own.Because of the joy this book gives us and it's very practical use, I treasure it. There is so much value in learning through laughter!
