A Bad Kitty Christmas
’Twas the night before Christmas and Bad Kitty has already opened all the presents: “Though there were presents and bundles and boxes galore, Kitty was angry. She wanted MORE.” Disgruntled Kitty runs away, and a kind elderly woman takes her in. She doesn’t have much, and soon Kitty comes to understand the true meaning of Christmas. Echoing the rhythm and rhyme scheme of “The Night Before Christmas,” the story includes three romps through the alphabet, as well as alternating first-person narratives and colorful comic-style illustrations. Humor and heart combine here in an entertaining holiday read that Bad Kitty fans will especially love. Grades K-3. --Shelle Rosenfeld
