Bad kitty / story and illustrations by Nick Bruel - School market edition - Scholastic, Inc, New York 2005

The humor, relatable situations, and graphic novel-style illustrations make it highly appealing to children aged 6–10. While the vocabulary and themes are accessible to younger readers, the books also include educational elements like Uncle Murray’s fact sections, which provide additional learning opportunities.

When a kitty discovers there is no cat food in the house, she decides to become very, very bad. From the creator of the New York Times bestseller Boing! comes the riotous story of a cat gone berserk--four times over in alphabetical order. Kitty is not happy when she's told that her favorite foods are all gone and all that's left are asparagus, beets, cauliflower, dill, and 22 other equally unappealing vegetables. So she ate my homework, bit grandma, clawed the curtains, damaged the dishes, and so on, through Z. Only when tastier things arrive, an assortment of anchovies, buffalo burritos, chicken cheesecake, does she apologize to grandma.
