2 stars After reading the introduction of this book, I was under the impression that it was about a mutiny. Therefore, my perspective was a bit skewed going in. So as a warning to future readers, this is not about a mutiny. It does not detail a mutiny. In fact, a mutiny does not happen…

5 stars Love it! This book is adorable, humorous, and entertaining. It also makes me glad that I have a full-grown cat instead of a kitten. The various poems were very creative and cover many different topics, such as exploration, cat-dog relationships, and the incessant need of felines to sit on a lap at all…

3 stars I think I may have enjoyed this book more knowing what I was getting myself into before starting to read it. So here are some helpful hints about what you’ll find inside this book: 1. The term “paranormal” in the title refers mostly to “paranormal romance”, which I am not a huge fan…

3 stars A very cute book filled with adorable cat pictures and lots of silly cat advice. It is definitely good for a few cat-related laughs and will remind any cat owner to ponder the basic question, “Why did I ever get a cat?” I liked Marciuliano’s poetry more, because of the uniqueness that format…

4 stars Another great Bad Kitty book. Very silly and adorable. I love the illustrations as well as the little fun facts pages about cats in trees. This book also includes tips on how to teach a cat to do tricks. Very cute. Loved it.

3 stars This book was definitely weird. While I understand it is written as a satire, most of it went over my head since it is so specific to the time period in which it was written. The notes on the text helped so I got a basic understanding, but still did not get the…

3 stars This is an easy, quick read. The writing is very simple, but with lots of adventure. A good fit for children who aren’t super into reading. I really liked the pace of the story. A lot happens in a short amount of time. It’s a pretty typical “chosen one” story, but I liked…

4 stars I remember trying to read the sequel to this book, Zombie Butts From Uranus, in middle school and not being able to get through it. I think I must have been a very literal child, because I just could not get over many of the descriptions, such as a butt having arms and legs…

4 stars I am so glad I finally got around to reading this book of poems. The poems included were very diverse. Most were silly, some were hilarious, a few were inspirational, and some were just a bit too dark for my taste in children’s poetry. Overall a good book with interesting poems and great…

3 stars A very silly book that has Roald Dahl written all over it. Very entertaining with a little moral thrown in. This is a pretty quick read. I liked the descriptions and illustrations a lot. Since this book was published almost 40 years ago, there is some language in it that many modern parents…
