"Nichols's bold cartoon illustrations capture the impish expressions of the little girl's indefatigable pet and eager sidekick, Puppy, and kids will happily cheer them on in their antics." --School Library Journal "Thomas's repetitious almost-rhymes make for a rollicking read-aloud... Nichols' digitally colored illustrations are the real stars of this simple tale of imagination. Kitten's cleanly paced mayhem is exhilarating... This kitten ably proves that misbehaving can get you pretty far." --Kirkus Reviews
