Bad Kitty Drawn to Trouble by Nick Bruel

This book was a very quick read for me.  I read it while my son was putting puzzles together at the public library.  In general, I like the Bad Kitty books.  I think they are fun beginner chapter books.  This one did surprise me a little.  Bad Kitty Drawn to Trouble by Nick Bruel (Lexile: 560; Interest Level: Grades 1-4) is more of a story about how to write a story than it is a story about Bad Kitty.  The author uses some great vocabulary (like "protagonist"), and he does a great job of modeling how to create a story, including coming up with different names for the story as he goes along.  Definitely a good read for students who enjoy Bad Kitty, want to write their own stories, or just want a quick read. (128 p.)
