Jan 11: Bad Kitty at Hooray for Books

I haven't read these, but the Post described them today as "Like all the "Bad Kitty" chapter books, this one resembles a graphic novel, with dialogue balloons and large comic panels."

Wednesday, January 11th: We are excited to welcome back author Nick Bruel as he presents the newest chapter book in the Bad Kitty series: Bad Kitty Takes the Test! Bad Kitty has her cat license revoked, and to renew it she must sit through a gruelingly boring class followed by a standardized test. After watching a specious video filled with oddball cat facts (and created by the test-makers, TestPro) she gets to the test itself -- and it's administered by a chicken. This hilarious new addition to the Bad Kitty series is sure to be a favorite with children and adults!
