Nick Bruel’s popular children’s series follows the alphabetical misadventures of Kitty, a mischievous housecat. Each book typically centers around a theme, often educational, exploring topics from good behavior and going to school, to dealing with holidays and learning about historical figures, all while highlighting Kitty’s often comically flawed personality. The chapter book series maintains the same humorous tone and follows Kitty on more complex adventures.
Presenting the books in their intended sequence allows young readers to follow Kitty’s development and progressively engage with more nuanced vocabulary and themes as they advance through the series. This structured approach reinforces learning and supports the development of reading comprehension skills. Moreover, the series’ enduring popularity stems from its ability to engage children with humor while subtly introducing educational concepts. The series began in 2005 with Bad Kitty and continues to expand, offering children a growing library of entertaining and enriching stories.
