My boys just got the book (they're big fans of all things Bad Kitty) so here's their review:
"...in one of the parts, the baby screams so loud that aliens on another planet can hear it. I really like this book" said my 6.5 year old.
"It's a great book and it's really funny I got to say" said my 8 year old. "Every part of the book contains lots of good illustrations and writing that has feeling in it." (!!!)
This is the first book for the boys' summer reading lists and it's really great to have them wanting to read it rather than go to battle over reading. Highly recommend!

Bad Kitty has destroyed her house! She's terrorized her own birthday party! She's pummeled her owner during the dreaded 'bath attempt'! She's sent Uncle Murray into a state of shock while (attempting to) housesit her and Puppy! But has Kitty finally met her match?
'Bad Kitty Meets the Baby' pits Kitty against the new baby and hilarity (and destruction) ensue when Kitty decides the baby has to go. In the battle of Kitty verses 'the baby', who will win? Hilarity ensues when Kitty tries to put the baby for sale (along with a 'free Puppy'), then tries to box the baby up much to her owner's dismay. And when Kitty's friends instigate the 'Cat Olympics' (and make the baby an official cat...)in a winner-take-all 'who's the best cat' standing will Kitty win or has she met her match in...'the baby'?
Anyone who loves the 'Bad Kitty' books will definitely enjoy this one as well! It's hilarious, it's entertaining and Bruel has included his usual 'Uncle Murray's Fun Facts'. Definitely worth buying and adding to the collection!
Let the battle begin! And may the best cat be left standing!

Review by This Kid Reviews Books! Find me on the Web!

Bad Kitty had it really good until Puppy came along. It took quite a while for Bad Kitty to get used to having Puppy around. Everything was almost back to normal when A BABY SHOWS UP!!! Bad Kitty isn't sure what this new thing is! She thinks maybe it's a kind of dog. Bad Kitty's cat friends come over and she thinks that they will certainly help get rid of this new dog but her friends think the baby is a cat and enter the baby in the Pussycat Olympics! Will the baby be a better cat than Bad Kitty? Will Bad Kitty succeed in trying to get rid of the baby? WILL the baby EVER get her bath? Read the book to find out!

The Bad Kitty chapter books aren't complicated stories but there is always a nice message in each. Mr. Bruel's latest Bad Kitty chapter book that puts Bad Kitty versus a new baby has a really great message about adoption and family at the end. The book is an easy read and the characters are great. I enjoyed reading it a lot. I like how the owners of Bad Kitty add narration throughout the book even thought you never really see them. I think it is an excellent book for kids 8+ and even younger advanced readers. The book would be great for kids who have trouble reading through an entire book because, in this book, the illustrations help tell the story and this may keep some kids interest. I went back a couple of times through the book to look at the illustrations again and again because they add so much to the story.

Nick Bruel understands the deeply self-centered nature of cats and their patient and loving staff (er, owners). He has created a winning character in Bad Kitty. My 7 year old and I have enjoyed reading the early picture books and the later and longer chapter books. This latest, "Bad Kitty Meets the Baby", provides witty text with amusing illustrations. We love Chatty Kitty in particular and enjoy the footnotes translating Chatty Kitty's commentary. And who doesn't coo at Poor Puppy for loving without reservation Bad Kitty, even when she drops vases on his head. Really a brilliant series and great for new readers. These are books my son, a hesitant reader, reads walking to the car and on the way home after leaving the library or bookstore.

These are awesome books. This book has not let my son who is 8 yrs old down. He rereads this book along with all the other Bad Kitty books over and over again. He became a fan with the 1st book... He is looking foward to the next 2 books to come.... If you ever had a bad kitty or just want to laugh your way through a good book don't miss purchasing this book or any other Bad Kitty books. Well done to the Author with lively written words and wonderful illustrations... Please keep creating those Bad Kitty books. My son had even asked if Bad Kitty could even become a show or movie someday.... Anything is possible. Awesome, Awesome books and educational too for both adult and child....

It was this book that introduced me to Bad Kitty and my son could not put the book down and stop reading. That is how entertained he was. Great anything that helps spark that in a child.

My niece loved it and devoured it within minutes of getting! She told me not to worry though because she will reread it many times!

When my grandson opened the package he became very excited and began to page through the book , having momemtarily forgotten that there were other gifts for him under the tree.

My 8-year-old loves this book so much that I'm going to buy every book I can find by this author.

Wait until you get to the part about the tree and you'll know what I mean. My kid reads that section over and over and over and roars with laughter each time.

What parent doesn't LOVE watching their kid devour a book?!

My kids really loved the book! Congratulations! My 7 year old son was so inspired by my reading it to him that he promptly went into his room and got the "Bad Kitty Takes A Bath" book and read it all by himself :) When I finished The Baby book, my 10 year old daughter took it from me and read it (again) all by herself! I know this shouldn't be big news for a 10 year old but getting her to read is a lot like pulling teeth! Mr. Bruel, you have a way of making my kids enjoy reading and I am grateful.

I think this book is right on par with the other books. It's consistent in form and style and it's writing is quick and witty. Uncle Murray continues to educate us on all matters feline, whether he likes it or not. There are TV game shows, a touch of astronomy, and Pussycat Olympics! All the other neighborhood kitties are in on the events and hilarity ensues. What a hoot!

A very charming addition to the Bad Kitty series. I can't wait to see what comes next.
