Purchase options and add-ons

Kitty’s life is really hard. Like really, REALLY hard. All she asks for is twenty-two hours a day to sleep and food to be delivered morning and night. But does she get it? No. And when Puppy and Baby get a little rambunctious during her naptime, Kitty gets bonked on the head and starts to believe she’s . . . a dog.

This new dynamic freaks out Puppy, so he’s sent away to Uncle Murray’s Camp for Stressed-Out Dogs to relax with other canine campers.

But guess who sneaks along?

Still believing she’s a dog, Kitty fits right in. That is until she and Uncle Murray encounter a bear, and then the feline claws come out.

Nick Bruel's Bad Kitty Camp Daze is perfect for any kid with or without camping experience.

Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal

POPGr 2–4—Bad Kitty returns in a complicated tale of amnesia, mistaken identity, and camping fun. After Kitty's bowl hits her on the head, she believes she is a dog and imitates everything Puppy does. Baby notices how Kitty is acting and says, "Kitty no cad! Kitty dog!" but no one will listen. Puppy goes to camp, and Kitty tags along for sing-alongs, campfires, games of fetch, and swimming in the lake. Even camp director Uncle Murray believes that Kitty is a small dog. Interspersed throughout are fun facts from Uncle Murray about why dogs are better at fetch or like to swim more than cats, and why cats like catnip. Fans of the series will love this newest adventure. The role reversal of Kitty wearing Puppy out with demands to play and the antics of the dogs at camp create plenty of hilarious moments. Bruel's images of Kitty with unfocused eyes, droopy ears, and tongue hanging in classic dog fashion complement the uproarious story. VERDICT A seamless melding of text and illustrations. A must-have for early chapter book readers.—Suzanne Costner, Fairview Elementary School, Maryville, TN

Keep the Bad Kitty books coming!! 😻
We love Bad Kitty! My 7 year old goes through them in within a day but frequently reads them over again... and cracks up every time! As a parent, that is something that you love to see and hear! We have fun reading them with her, as well.*Spoiler Alert*In Camp Daze, Puppy goes to a camp for dogs to get a vacation from the stress of living with Kitty (even though Kitty is the one who has been getting terrorized by Puppy and Baby). Kitty ends up sneaking into the camp, where the camp counselor is Uncle Murray. The relationship Kitty has with Uncle Murray does not disappoint in this book. The two are silly and will leave your kiddo, and you, giggling 😊

5.0 out of 5 stars BEST for my 7 yr son who struggles with reading!!!

I cannot say enough about these Bad Kitty books. My 7 year old son has struggled with speech and reading, he needs a lot of help and encouragement. He started with IEPs, aLexia Core at school, lots of help at home etc. We got the Elephant and Piggie books and those really honed in all his skills he had been working on and boosted his confidence – he could read them all by the end of 1st grade. Now for his summer reading (between 1st and 2nd grade) he is reading and enjoying these Bad Kitty books!! He can read these books 95% ON HIS OWN, a chapter a day. We tried the TreeHouse series, but he’s still a slow reader that has to sound out most words, so the TreeHouse books wouldn’t move quick enough (or interesting enough) and there’s hardly any pictures in them – for my still struggling reader). These Bad Kitty books have pictures on every page, they have some pages with a lot of words, and some with a little … so it doesn’t get discouraging but it’s still challenging. There are also Fun Fact pages which I mostly read to him, to give him a break, and so he learns something new, interesting, and fun. I really cannot say enough about these books for my son – they are exactly what he needs right now to continue to challenge and improve his reading skills, give him confidence, and dare I say an interest in reading. 😊 Oh these books are also hilarious!!! We both enjoy them 😊 so cleverly written we genuinely find them funny and want to keep reading, so helpful!!! THANK YOU!

For 5 months I have been asked by my 8 year old, “WHEN IS THE NEW BOOK COMING?!” Well, we got it just after the New Year and just in time for our holiday gift giving.

Sadly, this book was overshadowed a bit by the Bad Kitty Makes Comics book that was received at the same time, but it was still a hit.

These books are amazing, especially for kids on the autism spectrum. I’ve written a few reviews about them and will continue to rave about them until he quits reading them and we quit buying them. Don’t worry, I think that will be college. Or later. And then there is always grandkids.....

We went from 1 borrowed library book last year to owning 11 of his favorite titles. We’ve also borrowed all the titles we can from our local libraries.

I homeschool and my 8 year old was a very reluctant reader. We went from late kindergarten reading last year to starting 3rd grade this week.

One of the most wonderful sounds to hear is your child sounding out words and laughing. It’s like their first steps as a baby. Then the full reading and laughing. I remember each of these moments like they were yesterday. Well, one of them WAS yesterday but I’m sure I’ll remember it next year.

These books put my son onto the path of reading. Grateful does not begin to express what I feel.
