"A for Amazing, B for Buoyant, C for Charming, Bad Kitty takes us on a mad and manic joy ride through the alphabet. And if once is not enough, just watch out...D for Delightful!" --Jules Feiffer
"While the story is packed with colorful cartoon illustrations that introduce each object, it is Kitty who steals the show with her slyly drawn feline expressions. Intended for slightly older alphabet-book fans, this offering will attract readers with a taste for the ridiculous." --School Library Journal "A clever alphabet book for kids old enough to appreciate the way words work. The cat, with seemingly dozens of expressions, is the star, but other aspects of the amusingly silly illustrations have equal weight. There's so much going on here that kids will find lots to laugh about." --BooklistAbout the Author
