Author/Illustrator: Nick Bruel
When Kitty hears that there is no cat food (only an alphabet of icky things like asparagus and other vegetables), she turns to the dark side and becomes a very, very, bad, bad, BAD kitty. She gets into 26 kinds of mischief before the announcement that someone has returned from the grocery store with yummy things for Kitty.
After hearing—alphabetically, of course—about the wonderful things that are now available for her to eat (Buffalo Burritos and Quail Quiche, among other delicacies), she becomes a good kitty again. She makes amends for all her earlier mischief from A to Z, and all turns out well.
That is, until she meets the new puppy…
This book carves out its own niche among the variety of alphabet books that are out there. Nick Bruel’s illustration style is perfectly suited to kitty and her misadventures—my favorite is when she “was Violent with the vet”. Kitty’s expression when she is told she gets to share her food with the puppy does not bode well, but it is left to the reader’s imagination exactly what happens next. I have a pretty good guess, though:

That video was hilarious--sad for the poor puppy, though. I guess we all have to learn life lessons.
