Grade 2–4—Bad Kitty and Poor Puppy are back. This time they are featured in a funny, heavily illustrated 'how-to' chapter book that is reminiscent of Kate Klise and M. Sarah Klise's 'Regarding the…' titles (Harcourt). The instructions for getting the feline into the water include begging, cajoling, and reverse psychology. The text includes clippings from the Daily Nooz, 'Uncle Murray's Fun Facts,' a 'Quick Quiz,' a glossary of cat sounds ('fft!'), and two notes from the editor to the author about what is 'unprintable.' The resistant cat makes a valiant effort to avoid the procedure but finally—'YEOWR!,' 'HISSS!'—she is bathed. The pup gets his turn in an epilogue, but without any drama. Bruel's zany illustrations incorporate numerous perspectives that heighten the humor.—Marilyn Ackerman, Brooklyn Public Library, NY Copyright © Reed Business Information, a division of Reed Elsevier Inc.
