Kitty's owners are home with a big surprise for Kitty. But what is it? Kitty, reeling in horror, thinks it’s a . . . dog. The neighbor cats are convinced it’s a cat. But we all know that it’s really a BABY!
With Nick Bruel’s trademark mix of antic humor (this time involving a Kitty game show and the Kitty Olympics—which the baby wins hands down), riotous illustrations, total mayhem, and Uncle Murray Fun Facts, this may be the funniest Kitty book yet, and the one that hits closest to home.
Bad Kitty Meets the Baby is the winner of the 2012 Children’s Choice Book Awards for Third to Fourth Grade Book of the Year.
Winner of the 2012 Children's Choice Book Award for Grades 3-4
In the past, Bad Kitty has tangled with puppies, adults, birthday festivities, and baths, but she didn't know what trouble is until she meets The Baby. An endearing addition to a popular beginning readers series.
In Bad Kitty's return, she attempts to answer one critical question: "What the heck is that thing?"
In the beginning was Kitty. She was alone, and she liked it that way. Dark times arrived with the stinky, leaking, omnipresent Puppy; Kitty reconciled herself to that travesty. But after Kitty and Puppy spend a brief and ill-advised time in the guardianship of Uncle Murray, IT comes home with the humans. It plays, it stinks, it drools; Kitty is sure it's a dog. When all her friends come over for a special round of Pussycat Olympics, they conclude IT is a New Kitty. (A Bad Kitty Screaming Temper Tantrum ensues). Will Bad Kitty have a change of heart once she learns the origins of the family's new arrival? Bruel's fourth long-form tale of Bad Kitty (Bad Kitty vs. Uncle Murray, 2010, etc.) offers his trademark spastic black-and-white illustrations in full-bleed and spots with plenty of baby and cat sounds in dialogue bubbles (translated into English where necessary). Uncle Murray's Fun Facts return with occasional chapters on cat climbing and getting stuck in trees. There is plenty of slapstick, a few silly dream sequences and the obligatory gross bits. An appendix on cat training rounds out Bad Kitty's Baby encounter.
Further proof that Bad Kitty can be good...especially in the eyes of her many fans.(Humor. 6-10)

I should have read the description, but since we have other Bad Kitty books, I thought this would be a picture book like those. It's a cute book and my daughter will love it in a couple of years when she is ready to move on to chapter books.
