Review
Bad Kitty is back again in a Halloween themed picture book. The end papers are colored like the inside of a pumpkin and the illustrations are extremely busy. When Bad Kitty is frightened one October evening by unexpected beings called trick-or-treaters, from an Awful Alien all the way through the alphabet to a Zany Zombie, one understands why Bad Kitty is hiding. But...suddenly she finds that there is candy involved and she goes on the attack against all of the twenty-six creatures outside the door. With several big words such as lambasted, jostled, quirky, exotic and on and on, adults will definitely have to read this one aloud to the intended young audience. All Bad Kitty lovers will enjoy this.
Overall Book Score: very good
