Bad Kitty : Searching for Santa

24 pp. | Roaring Brook | August, 2019 | Trade ISBN 978-1-250-19843-3 $9.99
(2) K-3 Kitty wants to give her wish-list letter directly to "Santa" at a store. On the way, she encounters so many Santa-costumed charity workers (plus one dog and...an octopus?) that she becomes frazzled. Kitty's "bad" behavior, communicated as always entirely in the bright cartoon illustrations, is relatable as well as funny. The narrator's droll tone and the smart pacing of page-turns and occasional panels heighten the humor.
