ěeing a person that wants a cat, I am certain she will enjoy the factual cat information about why they climb trees and how to safely and realistically get them down.Liking humorous books was listed, so I had to get her something fabulously funny.She said if she had a surprise day off from school she would spend the day playing and reading, so I thought this was the perfect fit. She could do some independent reading with this one as it is a chapter book but not overwhelming due to the illustrations and the cartoon feel.So, with that information plus the knowledge of her enjoying animal stories, I thought this one was a hit. She indicated she wishes she had a cat store.It would also be fun to read it along with Mya, taking turns. Between the engaging illustrations and the cat humor, this book would capture most children’s attention. For Mya, this book would give her some solid independent reading time as it is a chapter book but not a daunting one. Although this is a fictional chapter book, it does have fun facts about why cats climb trees and how to get them down safely.īooks in Print listed this book as best for 7 to 10 year olds or 2nd to 5th grade (primary to intermediate), so this falls right into Mya’s age group as she’s in 4th grade. Based on Mya’s inventory, she likes animal books and wishes she had a cat store. In my opinion, Bad Kitty Meets the Baby by Nick Bruel is hilarious and meets all the criteria for a “cat lover”.
