Bad Kitty for President by Nick Bruel is the newest Bad Kitty book. This series follows Bad Kitty (who is a very bad kitty) and is perfect for kids who are ready to transition from picture to chapter books. This book follows Bad Kitty as he runs for president (of the kitty association) and he learns how the American political system works.This is a fantastic book full of laughs while also teaching readers about the political system. Bad Kitty's campaign is full of scandals and lies (inferring that his opponent may be a dog, getting in a cat fight) which are very entertaining. If you loved the other Bad Kitty books then you will love this one also.Appropriateness: This is an illustrated novel that is perfect for kids that are moving from picture books to chapter books and it's short enough to work as a read aloud for younger readers. I recommend it to readers 4+
My son has recently graduated from picture books to chapter books. Every one of the earlier Bad Kitty books have been laugh out loud winners, and "Bad Kitty for President" is right up there with the others.
I am a Children's Librarian and I love Bad Kitty almost as much as the kids do! I am also someone with a BS in government and am looking forward doing a program for my Library about how we elect our president, using Bad Kitty for President. Kudos again to Nick Bruel for breaking down our election process in a way that elementary students can understand. And more kudos for him doing it in a non-partisan way that can be used without ruffling of feathers on either side. Can't wait to see what Bad Kitty does next - she is made of awesome!
I'm not familiar with bad kitty series but my kids are fans from school. I have to admit I bought this mainly for myself- hoping it would be entertaining for me. The idea of a 'bad cat' combine with some gentle mockery at campaigning sounded like something to keep mommy sort of entertained at bedtime. Well, politically jaded me got a lession is basic American patriotism and optimism that night.The book is actually a great book for kids, and is very informative about the election process and democracy. There are some "interruptions" in the book that provide even more detailed facts (like a nosy lady who interrupts the story, etc) but the extra pages can easily be skipped over by a kid just learning how to read without missing any of the plot. There is quite a bit of good information in the storyline, as well as a fairly extensive glossary. Bad Kitty is of course, entertaining, but there is nothing negative or politically snarky about the electoral process. I will certainly check out some more of the Bad Kitty series.
I actually liked it more than I thought it would. I thought the way they presented the election info was very interesting. But I don't think "Holy &$@&" belongs in a book that 2nd graders are reading.
I am no expert on the "Bad Kitty" nor his misadventures. Frankly, I thought Bad Kitty was a book about, well, misbehaving cats! However, my young pre-teen nephew set me straight. It seems that he knows about the adventures of this accident prone feline. When I asked him what we wanted for Christmas, this book was on the top of his list (along with Boxtrolls). Apparently, I must have scored big. He's already read the twice and is onto his third sitting with this book. The illistrations convey the storyline quite well while the story is easily readable and appears to be humorious in that quarky pre-teen way.
Bad Kitty for President is another great chapter book from Nick Bruel. In this story, the neighborhood cats decide to have an election to decide who will be the head of the neighborhood cat coalition. The kitties on the right side of the street choose their candidate and the kitties on the left side of the street choose theirs. Then the mayhem begins as Big Kitty and Bad Kitty stump for votes. There is a lot of factual information about voting and elections that is perfect in helping the elementary student understand the election process. A real winner!
My child absolutely loves the Bad Kitty series. We have purchased several of them because our library doesn't carry many. I didn't have to ask my child to read, she just did it. She finished each book in a day or two.
