If you’ve ever tried to feed a three-year-old broccoli when they know there’s a Snickers bar in the pantry, you’ll feel seen.
This isn't a 'precious' or 'sweet' book—it’s chaotic, Kitty is a total brat, and that’s exactly why kids love it. It’s part of the broader Bad Kitty series that excels at making kids laugh at bad behavior while ultimately landing on a sensible conclusion. It’s a solid addition to the bookshelf for any kid who likes their stories with a side of attitude.
Perfect for the 3-6 crowd. It's a 'Level 1' style reader, so it works as a read-aloud for preschoolers or a solo book for Kindergartners.
Kitty is a classic 'bratty' character, but the story ends with a clear, positive lesson about why eating nothing but candy is a bad idea (and why real food is actually better).
Nick Bruel’s signature zany art and the exaggerated expressions of a cat having a sugar-fueled meltdown are visually engaging for young kids.
It's a picture book about a cat wanting candy. There are no safety concerns, violence, or inappropriate themes beyond a cat being slightly rude to her owner.
Great for reluctant readers due to the humor and low text density. It reinforces basic concepts like healthy eating and dental hygiene without being overly preachy.
