We LOVE Bad Kitty! My daughter is 4, and has loved the Bad Kitty books for over a year now. So when we saw that the wonderful Nick Bruel had a new Bad Kitty book coming out, especially one on a trip to the vet, we pre-ordered right away! We got it today, and we read it twice, straight out of the box.The story is wonderful, and like the other Bad Kitty books, Bruel does a wonderful job combining information (how to know if a cat needs to go to the vet, how to prepare your kitty for the vet, what vets are and how they work), with the hilarious antics of Bad Kitty herself. He's such a talented illustrator and absolutely captures the spirit of the cats we know and love. My daughter laughs so hard at the drawings, because they remind us so much of our kitties. And the story is just lovely, with just enough sweetness to draw you in and a little twist at the end, that kids will adore (no spoilers, promise!).We are huge fans of Bad Kitty, and I recommend getting all the books, especially Bad Kitty for President, as we get ready for 2016. It's one of the most hilarious explanations of the electoral college you've ever read. And Bad Kitty's Christmas rivals The Grinch That Stole Christmas, for a story that is both hilarious and will put a huge lump in your throat. And Bad Kitty Takes a Bath, Bad Kitty Meets The Baby, Poor Puppy and of course the original Bad Kitty, are favorites over here. In a world of saccharine and oversimplified children's books, these are smart, funny and a joy to read for adults and kids alike.Thank you so much Nick Bruel, for another wonderful adventure with Bad Kitty!
I am a school librarian, and all the Bad Kitty books are hits with students from Kindergarten to 6th grade. Girls and Boys alike love them and reluctant readers demand them. Younger students enjoy reading them with parents or older siblings and older students get a lot of information from the non-fiction facts that are interspersed with the story. I honestly cannot recommend them enough!
My 5-year-old loved this as she does all the Bad Kitty books. She said it's the funniest since Vs. Uncle Murray. She full on belly laughed at many parts. She also told me she learned an important lesson about taking better care of her teeth from it. She has been a better brushed the since reading.
I think that Nick Bruel has definitely outdone himself this time. The beginning was hysterically and the nice twist with pussycat paradise showed that Kitty might think that puppy isn't so bad after all. All and all I think that this was a very sweet and touching book( with a few laughs sneaked in of course) and I can't wait to see what the next Bad Kitty book will be about
My 6 year old was so instantly transfixed by this book, he couldn't take his nose out of it while we walked home from the book store. That was read 1 of several command performances in the three days that we've owned the book. I loved it not only because it's fun but also it shows my son how to be a more responsible pet owner. My wife enjoyed reading it aloud too, and we've had a couple of great family giggles over it.When I asked our son what we should write for a review, he choose a word he uses rarely: "AWESOME!".
Who doesn't love Bad Kitty?!! I started this series with my oldest daughter when she was 5 and she has grown up reading every Bad KItty book that comes out asap. Kitty is very entertaining. We even have a Bad Kitty of our own.
I have a cat. We do everything together. We love to sing and bathe and read together. This was our latest bath time read, I knew my poor Willie Winkie was scared to go to the vet to get his shots, so I read him this. It soothed his soul and comforted him, and maybe even brought a little tear to my eye to, to see him so peaceful when something so traumatic was coming. Willie Winkie is already asking when we can read the book again. Better go so I can read it to him.
We love this book! The entire series is great and this one is one of our favorites. It's funny and engaging. We learned about different kinds of vets and what kitty paradise probably looks like. Such a cute book. Highly recommend the entire series especially Bad Kitty School Daze, Bad Kitty Meets the Baby, and this one.
