Everything you love about the New York Times bestselling Bad Kitty series-from Kitty's first encounter with Baby to that time she ran for president and beyond-is back again and this time in FULL COLOR! These bright, attractive re-issues bring Kitty and her antics front and center and fully colorized all at the exact same price point as the originals. In Happy Birthday, Bad Kitty, it's Kitty's birthday, and she is ready to party. But she's wishing for a special gift, and if she doesn't get it, well . . . things won't be pretty.
"It's Bad Kitty's unapologetic, curmudgeon nature that delivers the laugh-out-loud funny." --Publishers Weekly
"Just plain hysterical. . . . Fun for all, especially fans." --Kirkus Reviews
"[A] mix of wry story and high-impact cartoon-style art." --Booklist
"Bad Kitty is back for another adventure, and children who have met this cantankerous feline in her previous outings know that a typical birthday celebration just won't do. . . . Bruel's fast-paced humor is just right for the beginning chapter book set, and the interplay of the text with the comic black-and-white illustrations ratchets up the zaniness level. . . . A frenzied fusion of fiction and nonfiction with plenty of appeal for young readers." --School Library Journal
