this heavily illustrated chapter book loaded with science facts and
plenty of laughs, she proves once again she's a force to be reckoned
with. Multiple copies are a must.(Fiction. 5-12)

BAD KITTY GETS A BATH
There will be LOTS of illustrations for the younger readers, LOTS of humor and non-fiction for the older readers, and LOTS of action and surprises on every page for even the most reluctant of readers.
Have you ever heard Of the Little Red Bird Who lived in a cage Made of gold?

She had all she could need She had water and seed And plenty to read I've been told.
Pictures
lavender-lit are a marvelous fit for this story that’s told all in
rhyme. When you choose your own way, there’s a price you must pay— it’s
a quandary as old as all time.
••April 15, 2008 Kirkus Reviews
Bruel, author
of Bad Kitty (2005), does a good job of spinning a rather sophisticated theme
in a kid-friendly manner, inviting children to ponder the bird's dilemma with a
repeated refrain: “I wonder what YOU would do?”
••April 15, 2008 Booklist
In Bruel’s frequent cartoon scenes and vignettes, the players display a
supple solidity as they smile, scowl or look confused according to
their assigned roles.
•• KIRKUS REVIEW
Bruel does such a masterful job of depicting the blobby cast that early-reader graduates
can’t help but break out in giggles.
