I had the opportunity to read this book while standing in a Target store over the weekend. Luckily these are pretty quick reads.Kitty and Puppy's parents have had it with their behavior issues and constant fighting, so they send Kitty and Puppy to obedience school for the day. Other characters who must attend obedience school are Petunia, a bulldog who hates cats, and a bunny who is convinced he is some sort of evil genius (whose name escapes me at the moment). Throughout the course of the day, the students work on art projects, have storytime, and have show and tell time. Even though Kitty has a bad attitude, she continues to show herself as being a good student by helping out the other students in different ways. Throughout the book, there are sections explaining why it can be difficult for cats and dogs to get along and how you can help your cat and dog get along.I enjoyed this book. Bad Kitty is such a cute series for kids. And the fact that Kitty reminds me a lot of one of my own cats doesn't hurt. :) Bad Kitty School Daze by Nick Bruel - brilliant!!! So happy to enjoy another fantastic book by Nick Bruel. I loved the process that the teacher went through to get to Bad Kitty's main problem (cute) but honestly, since I read it aloud this time, I noticed that there was a load of adult teacher voice going on and less cat/dog perspective... I did love the development of the characters and the friendship that blossomed between Bad Kitty and Petunia and I found the rabbit addition to be a riot. Uncle Murray chimed in just enough times and really helped the process of explaining the difference between cats and dogs with their communication differences. Overall I loved this book as much as I did the others and I especially loved how puppy's intelligence was displayed. What a hoot. Can't wait to chat with students about this book!
What do You think about Bad Kitty School Daze (2013)?
Bad Kitty School Daze is an enjoyable story. However, it offers dog training tips that are aversive.

I want to like Bad Kitty but it is just too silly for me. I did enjoy the illustrations.
